Manu Oost ,

Macro-economische visie op zeer toegankelijke maar toch diepgaande manier

Top (Americaanse) podcast voor wie op zoek is naar interessante en out-of-the-box macro-economische analyse via/op dagelijkse gebeurtenissen. Veelal gerelateerd met Bitcoin, maar zeker niet altijd. Een echte aanrader. Politiek neutraal!
