About this listen
Before there were banks, coins, or crash warnings — there was trust, trade, and the primal instinct of value. Economics 101 doesn’t teach you how to ace a test. It shows you how the entire game got built. From mammoth meat to crypto scams, feudal tithes to stock buybacks, this book walks you through the messy, mythological, totally human story of how money came to rule everything around us. It’s not about charts or jargon. It’s about why the world works the way it does — and what happens when the story of value starts to fall apart. We’ll hit barter economies, gold empires, medieval debt, industrial speculation, Keynesian blowouts, global currency wars, crypto chaos, and the weird economics of attention. It’s everything you should’ve learned in school, except now it’s actually interesting.
