Hello and welcome to the price of peace episode of Sleep Money, your guide to the business and finance

views of the week. I'm Felix Hammond of Axios. I'm here with Anna Shimansky of Breaking Views.

Hello? I'm here with Emily Peck of Huffpost.

Hello. And we are also going to bring in Emily's colleague

Zach Carter, who has written a whole book about John Maynard Keynes.

He was very gracious and came on our live show and dropped a huge amount of knowledge about the guy who more or less invented modern economics.

So that was fascinating enough that we are going to share it with you on this here show. So

Zach Carter, let's join you. And we have a very, very special guest. Mr. Zach Carter also of House Post.

Zach, what is the prop that you have behind you?

It's a book, it's called The Price of Peace, Money, Democracy, and the life of John Maynard Keynes, and you guys are not going to believe

this, but I actually wrote that book.

You wrote a book?

Congratulations!

The whole thing, yeah. I didn't even hire a ghost writer. Are you a serial book author?

Well, you know, I will at some point be a serial book author, but for now it's my only book.

Well, congratulations on writing a life of John Maynard Keynes.

We have referenced John Maynard Keynes many times on slate money,

but I don't think we've ever really much talked about him on the show.

So this is our opportunity.

While everyone is please jumping in asking questions, let us know what you want us to talk

about and we will talk about it.

This is close as sleep money will ever get to a live call-in experience.
