📜 Description: The Rise and Fall of the Gold Standard

For over a century, the world’s wealth was built on gold — a shining promise that every coin and note was backed by something real. But how did a system built on trust, power, and precious metal collapse into the world of paper and digital money we know today?

In this video, we journey through the dramatic rise and fall of the Gold Standard — from Britain’s golden age to the chaos of the World Wars, the Great Depression, and the day President Nixon broke the link between money and gold forever.

Discover how this one decision changed the global economy, shaped modern finance, and redefined what “money” really means.
