About this episode
Jeremy Ryan Slate, host of the Athenian Book Club, traces how Roman emperors debased the denarius from 95% silver to nearly nothing to fund legions and donatives. Marty Bent and Jeremy cover the Third Century Crisis, Diocletian's price controls, Constantine's gold solidus, and why sound money kept the Byzantine Empire stable for centuries. They draw parallels to Federal Reserve money printing, quantitative easing, the Cantillon effect, inflation, and why Bitcoin may offer a modern fix for broken money.
