Edward Griffin, tracing the origin story of fractional reserve banking itself. This week the hosts follow the money from ancient Greece and Egypt through the banking hubs of Damascus, Barcelona, and Venice, where things get interesting fast. They walk through the rise and fall of early banks that tried to stay honest, the temptation of easy credit, and how the Bank of Amsterdam briefly proved sound banking was possible before it too gave in. All roads eventually lead to the formation of the Bank of England, the blueprint for every central bank that followed, including the one we are all stuck with today. Expect the usual mix of history, sharp commentary, and a healthy amount of disbelief at how old these tricks really are.","meta_description":"CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapter 9 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G.
