[Macro Shift EP4] How Central Banks Changed Money


Listen Later

How did money move from gold and silver to central banks and sovereign credit?

In this episode, we explore the rise of central banking, from the Bank of England in 1694 to the Bretton Woods system and the Nixon Shock in 1971. We explain how modern money gradually became disconnected from precious metals and why today’s currencies are based mainly on trust in governments, central banks, and national economic strength.

Next, we will look at why the gold–silver ratio has changed so dramatically over the past century.
