Скачать или смотреть The Economy of Sugar: From Slavery to Wall Street

Sugar is more than just a sweet treat; it is the commodity that built the British Empire and laid the foundation for modern capitalism. This video explores the dark economic history of sugar, revealing how it transformed from a luxury item into a necessity that drove the transatlantic slave trade. We examine the financial instruments created to manage sugar plantations, illustrating how modern banking, insurance, and stock markets emerged to support this industry.

We also uncover the shocking truth about the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, where the British government took out a massive loan to bail out slave owners. This debt was so significant that British taxpayers only finished paying it off in 2015. From the brutal efficiency of Caribbean plantations to the optimization of modern supply chains, discover the true financial and human cost of the sugar in your diet and how it shaped the global economy we live in today.
