Why Are We Still Using Cash? - Freakonomics
This week on Freakonomics Radio : cash facilitates crime, bribery and tax evasion – and yet some governments (including ours) are printing more cash than ever. Other countries, meanwhile, are ditching cash entirely. Plus: why thinking of Bitcoin as just a digital currency is like thinking about the Internet as just email. To find out more, check out the podcasts from which this hour was drawn: “ Why Are We Still Using Cash? ” and “ Why Everybody Who Doesn’t Hate Bitcoin Loves It .” You can subscribe to the Freakonomics Radio podcast on iTunes or elsewhere , or get the RSS feedfrom freakonomics.com
