65. Fiat Farming with Joel from Untapped Growth

In this week’s podcast Saifedean is joined by Joel, a bitcoiner from Virginia-based regenerative farming business Untapped Growth. Joel explains the damage done to soil by modern agriculture, and how it has its roots in rising time preference and increased short-termism fostered by inflationary monetary policy and government interventions in the food and land markets. Joel explains why low time preference regenerative cattle grazing can fix soil, and how many farmers in America are switching to this model. Related links:Untapped Growth’s websiteDirt: The Erosion of Civilizations by David R.
