How to Ruin the Economy in 2 Minutes
Channel: Common Sense Soapbox
Date: 2022-02-01

On this episode of Common Sense Soapbox, Seamus, Bob, and Sarah are sheltered in place – hungry and eager to get out and work – but Ron isn’t letting them. Instead of producing more food, Ron has the ingenious idea to just give them more shells (money)! Seamus explains why issuing more currency instead of letting people produce is the worst thing you can do.
