About this listen

The Gold Standard. After years of using gold bullions, stark teeth and soy beans, why did we suddenly decide to combine paper and gold into a commodity backed money? And why doesn't it exist today? In this episode we explore the history behind the emergence of the standard and how it was eventually abandoned. (P.S. It was a dramatic series of events)
