Despre activitate
Explore the story of money on a walking tour through London’s Square Mile, travelling from ancient temples and Babylonian beginnings to modern high finance and Bitcoin.
Trace the evolution of trade, barter and debt through the ages – from gift economies to Babylon's clay tablets and Rome's large-scale debt-driven empire, all the way to the City of London, where those ancient systems reach their most sophisticated form.
We finish with a forward‑looking glimpse at the shift from paper notes and government bonds to digital ledgers, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
Highlights:
- Discover how history repeats cycles of rising power, mounting debt and empire.
- Learn how temples and churches sit at the heart of the story of money and banking.
- Uncover historic events that reveal the true relationship between money and power.
- Gain a deeper understanding of what money is, and how it differs from “value”.
- Wander the backstreets of the City that gave birth to global finance.
