The Last Economy

The Last Economyis a ten-episode English-language conversation podcast hosted by three voices from radically different worlds: Marcus Chen, a Silicon Valley tech journalist; Elena Vasquez, a sociologist who watches economists discover that humans don't read their textbooks; and James Morrison, a former Federal Reserve insider who's ready to talk about what really happens behind closed doors. Together, they trace a single arc across ten episodes — from the death of scarcity to the avalanche of white-collar obsolescence, from money that refuses to move to free money that breeds empty lives, from a new class war to the possibility of life after money itself. Each episode is a step on a staircase descending toward a logical endpoint: an "ultimate economy" where human labor is unnecessary, currency stagnates, and the old order dissolves. This is not an economics lecture. It's three smart people sitting around a table, holding coffee, occasionally laughing, occasionally falling silent — having the honest conversation you've been waiting for. They don't pretend to have answers. But they'll help you ask the questions you haven't dared to ask yet. For listeners who: care about AI's trajectory, feel something is broken in the economic system, want to know what tomorrow looks like, and have ever lain awake at 3 AM wondering —will my work still matter? English audio with bilingual subtitles. 25–40 minutes per episode. 10 episodes. One question: what comes after the last economy?
