Cryptocurrency Collapse: Money, Scams and Capitalism

On today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss how FTX, which was among the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has collapsed in one of the most spectacular corporate bankruptcies ever. In other tech-related industries too, mass layoffs continue to gather pace. The boom-bust cycle of capitalism is once again on full display.
