A ‘Best of 2021′ Holiday Special: Haiti’s Transition Into Modern Finance
This week and next “Money Reimagined” revisits favorite episodes from 2021. This week’s pick was Sheila Warren’s: the May 21 episode on Haiti featuring guests Jerry Tardieu, a Haitian author, entrepreneur and politician representing Petion-Ville in the Chamber of Deputies, and Daniele Jean-Pierre, the co-founder and chief operating officer of Zimbali networks. The pair reviewed Haiti’s history to show how a shameful, century-long legacy of a slavery-era debt continues to be a burden for the country. The discussion then turned to what solutions might exist to create a system that empowers people rather than leaves them dependent on charity and foreign aid. It’s the kind of episode that reminds us why the ideas behind crypto and blockchain matter.
