Ground Zero for the Lebanese Financial Crisis - Sept 18, 2022

This episode will tell you everything you need to know about the current state of Lebanon in 15 minutes, and comes to you as a gift from one political economics junkie to another. After two action packed weeks in Lebanon, including tours of all the historic sights in and around Beirut, countless informal interviews & discussions with Lebanese residents and expats, and a very timely escape the day before armed hijackings by depositors to withdraw their own funds resulted in internationally renowned bank closures, we felt it was only right to share what we've learned. We are your accidental journalists on the ground, and this is the Lebanese Financial Crisis for Dummies. Please enjoy.
