The Story of Money

About this episode

What actually is money? This new podcast from the Financial Times takes a historical view of this question which is crucial to understanding human civilisation and the world we live in today. Robin Wigglesworth, who co-hosts the show with fellow FT journalist Gillian Tett, picks some of his favourite episodes so far and tells us why some of the greatest humans ever - Churchill? Newton? - were not always brilliant with money.  The Story of Money: • Pick of the Pods: https://pickofthepods.substack.com/publish/post/201028489 • Homepage: https://www.ft.com/tsom?shareType=nongift&syn-25a6b1a6=1 • Get it on any podcast app: https://pod.link/1376303362 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FTTheStoryOfMoney Episodes of The Story of Money featured on this episode of POP-The Podcast: • The Bretton Woods agreement: a tale of boozing, womanising, espionage and a heart attack https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-deal-that-put-the-dollar-at-the-centre-of-the-world/id1376303362?i=1000768677777 • The financial scams that brought Albania to the brink of war https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-financial-scams-that-brought-albania-to-the-brink-of-war/id1376303362?i=1000773061994 • They
