Jim Mosquera's keen understanding of economics and the political landscape fueled his desire to begin writing. A regular column in the Economist gave rise to his fiction and nonfiction books.

In this episode, you'll get an understanding of the world of writing and self publishing, and you'll learn how Jim explores themes of centralization and decentralization by juxtaposing "Freedom Of" vs "Freedom From." Additionally, we chat about the gold standard, cryptocurrency, and a new global economic development - BRICS.

Jim also reveals trends happening in the United States that eerily reminds him of Panama - a country his family fled when he was a young boy.
