The Western world’s way of capitalism has brought about more prosperity than any other system in the history of man. But there are those who have corrupted the principles of capitalism to benefit themselves without any concern for society in general.  It’s that crony capitalism that is a direct threat to real democracy, at least according to our guest today, Raymond Baker. Raymond is author of a new book titled Invisible Trillions, and he has some keen insights into what is broken in today’s financial systems and how to fix it. Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum may also stop by to share his thoughts on eating crickets and the latest in fashion.  It’s the “you vill eat ze bugs and like it” episode #664 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/ SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY BE A FEATURED GUEST: http://badco.in/apply DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

One of the most controversial figures in the crypto world is none other than Richard Heart. A former guest on this show, we found him to be quite likeable and knowledgeable. And yet the question remains, is the HEX token he created a scam? His community of followers, who call themselves Hexicans, would certainly say no. Others are more skeptical. Film-maker Tom Gillespie has gone down the HEX rabbit hole to learn more about Richard and his community in a new four-part documentary series called Hexicans and the Time Value of Money. We’ve got Tom with us today to discuss his previous film, this new documentary and other stuff.  And maybe some things. If you love Hex and are south of the border, that makes you a Mexican Hexican.
