You got told it exists, that a building in Washington looks after it, and that was the lesson.&#xA;&#xA;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.&#xA;&#xA;Notes piled up in a folder. I kept meaning to do something with them.&#xA;&#xA;So I’m doing something with them strictly on nostr:npub16lvpp8hyxetuuczk4kjx2vqxhwmyruc72r59ysmgrsnjg5rcz8kqk07j3k &#xA;&#xA;The Architecture of Power. Fifteen parts on how the money machine got assembled, starting four hundred years before America existed.&#xA;&#xA;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.&#xA;&#xA;You already know the money is broken. You might not know how it got that way.&#xA;&#xA;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.&#xA;&#xA;What’s a fair price you would pay in Sats for each episode? I’m prepping to release #1 today</html></oembed>
