East India Company Part I: A Short History of Money


Listen Later

This is the first of six episodes in a series which details colonization and subjection of the Indian subcontinent by the British East India Company.  This episode serves to set the table for the the largest corporate takeover in world history by discussing questions related to capitalism and mercantilism, the economic systems that drove the East India company endlessly forward.  The creation of the stock market, its ties to Coffee, and how the EIC formed are all discussed in this episode.
