For the 30th episode, Jonathan "fast forwards" to Part 2, Chapter 2 in order to discuss one of the most quoted sections of Atlas Shrugged, Francisco d'Anconia's Money Speech. The gist of the speech is that d'Anconia (and Rand) claims that money is not the root of evil, but the root of all good. In this longer episode, Jonathan delves into the logic Rand uses to support this claim and examines several underlying assumptions. This is the last of the three fast forward episodes on Francisco d'Anconia's Money Speech.For the video produced by the Bank of England about credit predating barter, click here. I first heard about this from David Graeber, in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years.For an excellent discussion of the gold standard, see this debate produced by Marginal Revolution University, an initiative of George Mason University. You might also be curious to see this recent post by Stephanie Kelton, a chief proponent of Modern Monetary Theory, which criticizes conventional wisdom about inflation in 2022. Jonathan highly recommends Francis Fukuyama's books on the rule of law: The Origins of Political Order and Political Order and Political Decay.Some examples of sophisticated market economies, very much active in "making money," prior to 1500 C.E.: China and especially the Song Dynasty, the economic history of Japan, Italian city-states especially with the economic activity funded by the Medici Bank, and Kenn Hirth's book The Aztec economic world: merchants and markets in ancient Mesoamerica. To read more about Ricardo Semler's institution of workplace democracy at his large corporation in Brazil, read his book: Maverick.Jonathan mentions millenarianism and almost avoids pronouncing it as millionairism. Thanks for bearing with me on the LONG journey of this episode! The next fast forward episode will begin a discussion of the story of the 20th Century Motor Company in Chapter 10 of Part 2 (click here for the text of this passage).Questions or comments?

Lorenzo is at the height of his power and security. However, just behind the scenes, the family bank that caused the Medici to come into power in the first place is slowly but steadily falling apart, thanks to the Ottomans, a squabble between English royals, and, most of all, the ugly realities of politics.
In the premiere episode of Season 5 we talk renaming the presidents, why Nina can't be trusted with too much money, and we hop in the way back machine to the 14th century in our oldest story yet as we discuss the first multinational bank collapse and the family behind it all: The Medici of Florence.
As soon as he inherits his father's place as head of the rich, international Medici Bank, Cosimo gets a target on his back in a Florence where politics are increasingly molded by the sponsorship of the rich and not by the guilds. The minute he steps on the public arena, not only is Cosimo's political career is in danger, but his very life.
The Renaissance is known as the cradle era of the modern world, for both its art and ideas. Less known is that it was also the era when the modern banking system was created. The Medici Bank was the most influential, yet the trouble it attracted from both church and state, over using usury as a business model, is a problem that our societies still face today. Ross Ashcroft is joined by Tim Parks, author of 'Medici Money,' to delve into the world of 15th-century banking and to explore the parallels between then and now.
On today’s episode, Whatever Happened to… The Medici Bank.The Medici Bank was, at its height, a conglomerate behemoth. The largest and most respected financial institution in Europe. An innovator and disruptor, establishing banking and accounting protocols, that exist to this day.And then, in spectacular fashion, it collapsed. In a way so seminal that, even today, the collapse of the Medici Bank acts as a cautionary tale of what not to do. And not just because it was so impactful. But because the mistakes of the Medici Bank are mistakes we continue to see repeated in modern times.The lessons that history teaches us: sometimes they are harder to truly learn than we think. On today’s episode of The Risktory Podcast, I take you through the rise – and fall – of the Medici Bank.

The New Year is my personal favorite holiday and the Renaissance is my favorite period of our history so here is my very special New Year's Greeting full of my Best Wishes and a Suggestion to Revisit our World with the eyes of the independent thinkers, artists, sculptors, and humanists that age to begin a Renaissance of Ideas of our own in 2021! There are many lessons and analogies we can draw from during our pandemic from the Renaissance Age in which ideas, art, science, philosophy and literature all flourished beginning with Giovanni Bocaccio's "Decameron" collection of 100 short stories from 10 people escaping the plague of their time, among others. Though the Renaissance ended centuries ago, it produced some marvels of the world which have since not been reproduced. For example, there is only one place in this world I have been to where I truly felt like I was a part of a live painting - at the Florence Dome (Cupola) of Brunelleschi. It is a perfect example of life intertwined with art. We have enjoyed tremendous innovative technologies in modern times and many golden ages of Greece, Holland, 19th Century France, or 1960's United States of America, but to this day, the Renaissance has left its distinct legacy that has been unsurpassed since in many regards as there are very few masterpieces of architecture, or few cities constructed since the Renaissance like Florence, Venice, or Mantova. There are few humanists such as Michelle de Montaigne from the Renaissance or Erasmus from Holland, or sculptors and painters of masterpieces such as the Sistine Chapel like Michelangelo, writers like Bocaccio, Petrarca, and independent thinkers like Leonardo da Vinci or Marsilio Ficino. In this video I highlight some of the root causes to explain why the Renaissance Age has withstood time and distinguished itself from other periods of history and the role of key figures of the period such as Lorenzo De Medici, the owner of the Medici Bank and financial mogul who did not just invest in a lot of talent at once, but intentionally inspired a vision of creating art, philosophy, and other works of art to build communities and cities that placed extraordinary value on: 1) TRUTH - searching for it regardless of religious convictions and theological background 2) BEAUTY - creating it for not just the private upper classes but making it accessible and approachable for the public 3) WISDOM - promoting the positive emotional, social, and intellectual drivers of the human condition and behavior such as compassion and empathy through architecture, philosophy, and fine arts. 4) PEACE - prioritizing practical values of community and stability, intellect, reason, short span of life, the role of legacy, and serenity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alloutcoach/support

The Medici name still carries echoes of power and labyrinthine politics. But the Medici got their start as bankers, and built a financial empire that spanned fifteenth-century Europe. Popes, kings, and merchants all did business with the Medici, and the family's power over Florence grew out of its fiscal wizardry - at least until it all fell apart.You can listen to the back catalog of Tides of History, completely ad-free, only on Stitcher Premium.

Papa Joe Medici dies, leaving control of the Medici Bank and the family fortune – now the largest in Italy – to his son, Cosimo Di Giovanni de Medici. The post #45 The Rise Of The Medici (part 7) appeared first on The Renaissance Times.
Jonathan Johnson very modestly describes himself as “a recovering lawyer.” A lawyer by training, Jonathan was Overstock.com’s general counsel before becoming president. Jonathan and Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com’s founder and CEO, took Overstock from a private startup to a publicly traded company with over $2 billion in sales and 2,000 employees. They have been good at seeing new opportunities. Overstock.com has never been afraid of making moves. In 2014 they were the first major online retailer to accept bitcoin as a payment, and in the first 22 hours, they received over 800 orders worth $126,000 in bitcoin. Jonathan Johnson (and Patrick Byrne) jumped into the blockchain mosh pit four years ago because they saw big potential in applying the blockchain to financial systems. Jonathan became the president of a new Overstock subsidiary that was created to manage and oversee company investments in innovative companies building blockchain solutions. They called the new company Medici Ventures, named after Medici Bank of Florence, the most successful European bank in the 15th century. Medici Bank was an early disruptor in 15th-century Europe that invented, among other things, the double entry system of tracking debits and credits, deposits and withdrawals. The name seemed appropriate and Medici Ventures was born! Under Jonathan’s leadership. Medici Ventures has made big investments in companies with innovative blockchain solutions. Jonathan, along with his friend and mentor, Patrick Byrne, believes that “blockchain is going to change the world more than the internet has.” We think you’ll enjoy our interview with Jonathan Johnson, a bright, articulate “recovering lawyer” who is making bold moves in an uncertain world!
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Medici family, who dominated Florence's political and cultural life for three centuries. The House of Medici came to prominence in Italy in the fifteenth century as a result of the wealth they had built up through banking. With the rise of Cosimo de' Medici, they became Florence's most powerful and influential dynasty, effectively controlling the city's government. Their patronage of the arts turned Florence into a leading centre of the Renaissance and the Medici Bank was one of the most successful institutions of its day. As well as producing four popes, members of the House of Medici married into various European royal families. With: Evelyn Welch Professor of Renaissance Studies at King's College, University of London Robert Black Professor of Renaissance History at the University of Leeds Catherine Fletcher Lecturer in Public History at the University of Sheffield Producer: Victoria Brignell.
