Muelder Professor of Social Ethics at the Boston University School of Theology, and the author of well over a dozen books.  In this April 27th, 2021 interview with Adam Reese, he discusses his argument for a global currency, the subject of his 2008 book God and Money.  He also talks cryptocurrency and reacts to Yanis Varoufakis's proposal for a global currency (a proposal published in response to Facebook's 2019 announcement—since walked back in various ways—that it would roll out a global payments network centered around its own cryptocurrency-like token.)
