- When the Money You Trusted Was Borrowed From TomorrowEight currencies across a booming continent collapsed within months of each other in the summer of 1997, with no war and no obvious warning. These weren't struggling economies: exports were rising, foreign investment was flooding in, and growth looked real. The answer, along with a can of iced tea that never raised its price and a video game that developed its own inflation, ends on the moment a single number changed on a screen in Bangkok.This episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.

32 min - The Company That Sold Shares in Nothing at AllIn seventeen twenty, a company with almost no real trade watched its stock rise nine hundred percent in eight months, drawing in Parliament, the Governor of the Bank of England, and Isaac Newton himself. A company needs revenue to justify a price, yet this one had almost none. The answer and a handful of other strange truths about money, from payday loans to a country that saved itself into poverty, are all inside, ending on a financial mechanism so elegant it fooled the man who explained gravity.This episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.

About Money Logics
From the publisher's feed
Have you ever really wondered how banks get rich while paying you almost nothing to keep your money? Money Logics is an economics podcast that explains the surprising logic behind money, prices and…
markets, the hidden rules behind every dollar you earn and spend. It's economics explained through real financial crises, with stories made of bubbles, hidden fees, strange laws and fortunes made and lost overnight.
Every episode follows one big real story from its very first moment all the way to its final cost. Along the way, nine smaller money surprises each add a piece of the answer, so the full picture builds as you listen. It's told through simple scenes with round numbers, the belief everyone repeats and what really happens, with dry humor and honesty about the evidence. Every episode stands on its own, so you can start with whichever one catches your eye.
The show also follows the ordinary people who live with the numbers, the savers, workers and families who pay for decisions made far above them. By the end of each story, you'll see your paycheck, your shopping and your savings a little differently.
As for those banks, most of the money in a modern economy isn't coins or bills but numbers that banks create in accounts when they lend, and the show tells you where the evidence is solid and where economists still argue. New episodes arrive every Monday and Thursday at 7 PM Eastern. Follow Money Logics so you never miss an episode.
