Les mer Coins, Currency & American History

America was not built in a straight line.It was built through arguments about power, money, and trust.This podcast tells the story of the United States through the forces that shaped it beneath the surface: currency, credit, debt, and the systems people argued over long before the outcomes were clear. Instead of memorizing dates and battles, we follow the economic and political choices that quietly defined who benefited, who paid the price, and why the nation developed the way it did.From the fight between Hamilton and Jefferson, to the rise and fall of early national banks, to gold rushes that turned frontiers into financial centers, each episode explores how Americans tried to turn ideals into institutions. How paper promises competed with hard money. How regional economies grew apart even as the country claimed unity. And how decisions made in moments of uncertainty echoed for generations.This is not a story about heroes or villains.It’s a story about systems, incentives, and unintended consequences.Across 52 episodes, the series moves from the founding era to the modern age, showing how debates over money and power never really ended, they only changed form. Every crisis, boom, panic, and reform is part of the same ongoing argument about who controls value and what a nation owes its people.If you want to understand why America works the way it does today, you have to understand how it learned to pay its bills, trust its currency, and fight over who held the keys.This is American history, told through the economics that made it real.

Ep. 21 – The Lost Cause and Reconstruction

The Civil War had ended. Reconstruction brought the Southern states back into the Union. Yet for many in the South, the wounds lingered.

Enkelt å finne frem nye favoritter og lett å navigere seg gjennom innholdet i appen

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.

Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
