Talks on financial history, from William Huggins
A great thanks to Henry for sharing his book Buildings Don't Lie. As a prospective homeowner, I plan to devour it upon arrival.
I don't have a proper book to share but I did author a course on financial history that I teach. To help my students, I recorded all the one-directional talks as short videos. Rather than proceeding chronologically overall, I broke things down into 11 topics (plus an intro) and did those chronologically: payments, debt, banking, central banking, companies, stock markets, derivatives, insurance, trusts and funds, pensions, government finances.
