Expect the Unexpected with Felix Salmon of Axios

Felix Salmon is the chief financial correspondent at Axios and the author of the new book, The Phoenix Economy: Work, Life, and Money in the New Not Normal. Circle Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairman Jeremy Allaire caught up with Felix recently to review his book’s tour of the ways the pandemic has structurally altered our lives – and our financial architecture. “We are now, I think, moving into a much more volatile world and much more unpredictable world,” Salmon notes.

• [24:40] – Payment system innovation
• [26:26] – Russia and SWIFT
• [47:15] – Is AI just a party trick?
