This week, the story begins in 1944 against the backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains in New Hampshire, where delegates from 44 nations gathered to create the Bretton Woods System, which defined how global economics would work for the decades to come. We still see the shadows and the consequences of Bretton Woods today. In this episode, we explore Bretton Woods, what happened in 1971, and how that relates to inflation, which has recently again become a hot topic.
