The History of Paper Money - III: Barebones Economy - Extra History

Poor England. First Charles I and civil war, then losing to the French, then the Great Fire of London in 1666. Luckily, Nicholas Barbon comes along to help. And make obscene amounts of money.

This episodes are so awesome! And it's very nice to learn about how paper money came to be. Oh, hey! My name is in the sponsors list finally!

In "mercantilism" emphasis is on the second syllable: "merCANtilism"

Helping England recover from disaster and making a boatload of profit in the bargain? It sounds like Barbon was Walpole's childhood hero.

I really hope this series doesn't skip over the tally sticks. They were a fascinating form of intermediate fiat money that embody one of the foundations of paper money (that it has some value since it's accepted by the gov't for payment of taxes).

I really hope this series doesn't skip over the tally sticks. They were a fascinating form of intermediate fiat money that embody a lot of what was going on with early currency ... and in the end they actually caught on fire and burned parliament to the ground. An amazing part of the story. Something I wrote a while ago on tally sticks: <a href="http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2012/03/the-secret-history-of-government-debt-tally-sticks-1859854.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2012/03/the-secret-history-of-government-debt-tally-sticks-1859854.html</a>

Damnit, Tim! <3 Also mispronunciation is Daniel's schtick. I once called him (an American) out for pronouncing "granary" the British way and he told me it wouldn't be fair if he didn't mispronounce every culture's words equally.

I'm afraid we do skip over tally sticks, but thank you for posting your article about them!

Yes, sorry about that! When I left I forgot to instruct the team to keep an eye on our Patreon list for new sponsors. :( Thank you for being patient with us about it, though!

We've all been basking in that name since James first sent us the script. It is amazing.

Oh, just you wait till next week. We're going to meet a fellow that James has wanted to talk about ever since the South Sea series... he wasn't directly involved in that, but his hijinks are going to seem miiighty familiar.

I'm still saying it was Walpole. It's always Walpole.

Marcus Berg

Barbon a.k.a. Walpole the 2nd, Walpole II, or Walpole and the Chamber of Secrets

I mean, he was certainly behind it all, just as he's behind literally everything that has ever happened in the course of human history. So technically correct.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Mr Barbon was Mr. Blunt's childhood hero. He died less than 20 years before the whole south sea bubble - long enough for Mr Blunt to have read and understood what Mr Barbon was talking about. And boy oh boy do Mr Blunt's plans strike me as the dealings of a man who understands that money is a sort of shared dream, not just gold or silver in a vault somewhere.
