My guest today is Kabir Sehgal, a New York Times bestselling author and Grammy Award-winning producer. He is currently a vice president at JPMorgan Chase. Sehgal’s new book, Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us, caught Covel’s eye. This is a subject layered in complexity and depth. Just about everything that goes on in our lives is decided by money and Sehgal digs into its story on a micro level.

The topic is his book Coined: The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Sehgal’s history
  • Sehgal’s experience winning a Grammy for production and the idea of “no boxes”
  • Why Sehgal sees his life like a jazz composition
  • Defining money as a symbol of value
  • The neurological effects and artistic aspects of money
  • The currency of the natural world
  • Whether Sehgal sees “money as the root of all evil”
  • The idea of charity
  • The politics of money
  • The internationalization of currency
  • Hyperinflation
  • Gold, and Sehgal’s experience going to the basement of the New York Fed
  • Digital money and bitcoin
