Mansa Musa's Hajj Aftermath: The Inflation That Shook Cairo

In 1324, Mansa Musa's legendary pilgrimage to Mecca didn't just dazzle Cairo—it crashed its economy. This episode explores the gold inflation that followed, the Mamluk sultan's desperate measures, and how Mali's emperor inadvertently reshaped Mediterranean trade for decades. We trace the economic ripple effects through al-Umari's accounts, the Qadi's reports, and the gold's long shadow on North African markets. Plus: how Musa's generosity turned into a crisis for Egyptian merchants, and the slow recovery that taught the medieval world a lesson in monetary policy. #MansaMusa #MaliEmpire #CairoInflation #MedievalEconomics #AlUmari #AlNasirMuhammad #WestAfrica #GoldTrade #Hajj1324 #SahelHistory #MamlukSultanate #EconomicHistory #MasalikAlAbsar #Malikite #GoldStandard #MedievalTrade #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
