Hello Learners,
In this video, "The Surprising History of Debt: From Clay Tablets to Credit Cards", we discuss in detail about the evolution of Credit and Debt throughout history. This video covers what a Credit is, the difference between Credit and Debt, how it developed across Ancient civilizations, Medieval societies and Modern times and finally its importance in our current society.
Credit is the belief and trust in a borrower’s ability to repay debt. It’s an invisible yet powerful tool that helps us finance our needs, even before we have the money. Interestingly, the paper money we still use today began as a form of credit: a promissory note. That’s why many currencies, like the British pound £ (GBP), still carry the phrase, “I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of...” While modern money is no longer backed by gold or silver, the promise reflects how deeply trust is embedded in the idea of money itself.
A lot of about Debt and Credit remains unknown, especially the long history behind it and how it evolved through ages.
Through this video, we explore how Credit and Debit co-existed in different forms and how it existed even before money was invented.
This video also covers things like: Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Civilizations (Egypt, Greece, Rome, India and China), Medieval times, Renaissance, Credit Cards (Diners Club Card, VISA, AM-EX) and Credit Ratings companies (Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch).
