Show support appreciated: 35iDYDYqRdN2x6KGcpdV2W1Hy3AjGje9oL Matthew & Fernando interview Pascal Hügli, an independent researcher and journalist from Switzerland. Pascal covers his fascinating article from March where he poses the question, was industrial revolution-era Switzerland capitalistic, or socialistic? He looks at the life of Alfred Escher, a radical liberal of the time, and how the banking system tied into the growth of the Swiss economy. He gives some good perspective on what actually is "capitalism" and what is "socialism." He draws parallels to Bitcoin and the digitization of the world today, to the industrialization in Switzerland (and Europe) that occurred in the 19th century. We conclude with some thoughts on Bitcoin's potential, and the role of leaders and regulations in the ecosystem. Keep an eye out for his book that is coming out later this year.
