Hi, you're listening to After Hours. This is me here and this is Rowie. This is Rebecca. Hey, how are you all?

Spring in a word. Spring is here. Spring is here. You know, I was just thinking that since Felix isn't here,

we should probably talk about him. Yeah, we should totally do that because look what I got my little grubby hands on. How did you get it already?

Felix has got a new book. It's called Better, simpler strategy and it's fantastic and I got to tell you,

Felix is such a wonderful modest person. He's not going to like plug the book. That's true.

But I think in his absence, we have to like wage some kind of a campaign. So his pre-order ranking on Amazon goes way up.

I think that's a fabulous idea and it's such a good title for a book as well. Like better than the title of something I've been working on,

complicated worst strategy. So like got to be the right thing to read next.

Absolutely. And you know, it's even got a nice picture of him in the back. Take a look at that. Is that nice? Handsome devil.

So yes, it is fantastic. Everybody should be out there pre-ordering and Felix is new book. Absolutely. So we got stuff to talk about. Rebecca, what do you got?

I want to talk about politics in Georgia and suddenly a whole bunch of CEOs are standing up and saying they care about democracy. What's with that?

Oh, wow. Let's figure that one. Excellent. And Rawi, what do you have?

The new Chinese digital currency and how that might reshape economic relations inside China, but maybe in the wider world as well.

Like what does it mean? That's great. So we got politics in Georgia and CEOs speaking out and we got digital.

Remember, this is fantastic.

Okay. So Rebecca, what is going on in Georgia and what is going on with these CEOs speaking out?

So here's the story so far. For the last few weeks, there's been an increasing fuss in the political class about legislation

that the Georgia legislature has been first proposing and has now passed to either reform or restrict voting rights depending on who you talk to.
