50 分钟This was the first time that we get this notion
that Jewish people are operating some kind of secret financial cabal and using that to control the world.

I mean, was it just to have a scapegoat?
They were trying to make a name for themselves.
That was certainly the case of Bill Elmar.
He had tried all sorts of...
Ways to make a reputation this was just the last of his ventures
oddly enough he didn't actually believe what he was writing he had been married
four times three of his wives had been jewish today on the story of money a financial crash that mutates
into pure political poison And sure, yes, every financial crash leaves people poorer,
but some leave something far more dangerous behind.
And in this case, it ultimately arguably paved the way to genocide.
So Gillian is away this week.
But to tell today's story, I'm joined by Ljakit Ahmed.
He's the author of Laws of Finance, one of my favorite books on financial history,
and now 1873, which covers the numerous financial crises that happened around the world in that fateful year.
Thanks so much for being here.
This is a real pleasure.
Thanks for having me, Robin.
