Joe McCann currently works in cloud and AI at Microsoft and has spent decades in tech, crypto and open source communities. He recently wrote a piece called “A New, New World Order” about the second and third order effects of COVID-19. 

In this conversation, Joe and NLW discuss:

  • Localism and the beginning of the end of globalization
  • The return of domestic manufacturing 
  • The "Roaring 20s" of Inflation
  • The inevitability of Universal Basic Income in response to inflation
  • QE infinity and the U.S.’s nationalization by proxy
  • National health care as national security and why microbes are this decade’s terrorists 
  • Proof-of-health, and why it’s likely to be implemented on a blockchain
