Why people recommend it
Metallic currency before the union by Adam Shortt is an economic historical text detailing early monetary systems and commerce in Canada. On The Joe Rogan Experience in 2017, Joe Rogan mentioned the broader creative output of his friend Adam during episode 900 while hosting Joseph Valtellini. Rogan explained that his friend lived up in British Columbia, an area where the local economy was significantly influenced by the marijuana industry despite the drug's illegal status at the time. The host referenced this connection to illustrate how informal and underground markets can deeply shape regional commerce and industry, drawing on his friend's documentary work to highlight the unique economic realities found in parts of western Canada. Through this conversational tangent, Rogan provided listeners with a window into the complex interplay between local entrepreneurship, regional lifestyle, and the overarching legal frameworks governing the cannabis trade during that period.
