Season 2 Episode 3 - Hawala - An ancient form of money transfer

<p>Hawala is a form of money transfer that dates back to at least the 8th century CE. &nbsp;It is a method for long-distance money transfer which was developed during the days of the Silk Road so merchants could avoid having their money stolen by bandits and robbers. &nbsp;Hawala is an extremely efficient system which exists to this day. &nbsp;But in the age of terrorism and narco-trafficking, it can be illegal. &nbsp;We discuss Hawala in this podcast. &nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gene-tausk/message
