I recently had the great fortune to work w/ the talented Nicolas Medina Mora on a long piece for Nexos! So pleased it’s out now in this brilliant issue on the anniversary of NAFTA.
It’s a wild ride of monetary conspiracy theories, Montesquieu, & the class politics of the dollar!

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ambedkar's extraordinary The Problem of the Rupee (1923). A stunning monetary history with a counterintuitive conclusion.
An honor to write about it for the Indian Express & thanks to Suraj Yengde!
