About this listen

In this episode, Sanjay Gupta reflects on money not merely as currency, but as a shared human belief that quietly governs lives. From the earliest acts of barter to coins, paper, and invisible numbers on screens, money has evolved alongside human trust and fear.

This episode traces how value was imagined, agreed upon, and passed down through generations, shaping power, desire, and inequality. More than an economic story, it is a meditation on how something created for exchange came to define worth itself and how understanding its past may help us loosen its hold on the present.
