Nobody ever taught you where money came from. You got told it exists, that a building in Washington looks after it, and that was the lesson.
I’ve spent years reading, watching and listening to the real history. How a merchant in 1560 paid a man in Venice without moving a single coin. How England figured out it could fund a war on money it didn’t have yet. How five brothers in five cities beat the newspapers by a day and what that one day was worth. How the dollar stopped being redeemable for gold and the whole world kept using it anyway.
Notes piled up in a folder. I kept meaning to do something with them.
So I’m doing something with them strictly on Fanfares (npub16lv…7j3k)
The Architecture of Power. Fifteen parts on how the money machine got assembled, starting four hundred years before America existed.
I’m not the expert here. Plenty of people have forgotten more about this than I know. But most of them write for each other, and if you’ve got a job and kids you don’t have three years to spend on Braudel.
You already know the money is broken. You might not know how it got that way.
Every claim gets labeled. Documented, strongly supported, contested, or speculative. When something wild turns out to be real I put the paper on the table. When it doesn’t hold I say so, even when we all want it to.
What’s a fair price you would pay in Sats for each episode? I’m prepping to release #1 today
