On the latest installment on my road to 40 by April 19th, I cover the one and only Mansa Musa, potentially one of the wealthiest men to ever live. Did you think Crassus had a lot of gold when I did that episode on him? Well, this dude had a gold mine in his super long regal title! Maybe there is something to seizing the means of production. However, I wouldn't have a show to talk about whatever I wanted, especially if that want had to do with extravagantly wealthy individuals! So I think I'll pass on the marxism and learn up on those socials practices they're doing over in Europe. I'm sure there's an ism to those economic modes... ok, I'm ranting. Mali, empires, money, Africa, pilgrimage, dude king, that's what you'll learn here in this show today. I hope you enjoy and pick up a thing or two.
