What does the future of money look like without cash?

It’s a two parter today! Digging into two stories that caught our attention at Equity Mates. The Nobel Prize for Economics has just been announced, and for the third time ever, it’s been awarded to a woman. Professor Claudia Golden has won for her extensive research and academic writing on historical trends in gender equality. Sascha is joined by Jennifer Duke - who’ll tell me about the professor’s research. And then, recently, there’s been a lot of talk about a cashless future… Macquarie Bank announced that they’d be phasing out physical cash and cheques from early next year. And the Aussie government has given us a little more time, but they’ve also added… no more cheques by 2030. But what *does* the future of money look like without physical cash? Andrew Cornell, the Associate Editor for Banking and Finance at Capital Brief joins Sascha to dig into the topic. Want more Equity Mates?
