The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 19, 2017

Alexander Lipton, Founder and CEO of StrongHold Labs and Connection Science Fellow at M.I.T., and Scientific American editor Jen Schwartz join us to discuss a special report published in the latest issue of Scientific American called, “Breaking the Bank.” The piece looks at how new financial networks and cryptocurrencies could stop the concentration of wealth and increase participation in the economy—but only if used with care. 

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
