Richard Cantillon: The History of Money - Pt. 2, Feat. Rand MacGreal

The History Files Archives - ep. 022

This week we finish Gordon’s economics discussion with Rand MacGreal, author of Lost Foundation: A Conversation with 18th century Economist Richard Cantillon. For part one, go here. As in last week’s episode, the “history headlines” segments was intended for a July air date, hence the mention of Bastille Day, etc.

From the original show notes: “This week on the History Files we continue our discussion with economics writer Rand MacGreal to further explore the history of money. In particular we learn about Jean Baptiste Say and his Law of Markets, as well as the interesting but unwise economical tenets of John Maynard Keynes. This episode ran long, even with dividing the interview portion in half, but there's so much interesting material in there that we think it's worth every minute.”
