Скачать или смотреть The Financial System That Funded 600 Years of War (And Why It Eventually Collapsed)"

How did the Ottoman Empire sustain 600 years of nearly continuous warfare without collapsing into bankruptcy like European kingdoms? While France defaulted on debts and Spain's silver couldn't save it from ruin, the Ottomans built one of history's most sophisticated financial systems.
In this video, we reveal the brutal economic truth behind Ottoman military dominance: the timar system that made provinces pay for their own defense, the devshirme program that acquired human capital without raising children, strategic tax collection across three continents, currency manipulation, and the conquest-funding-conquest cycle that worked for centuries—until it didn't.
Discover why this financial machine was designed for expansion but doomed once growth stopped, and what lessons this holds for any system built on continuous growth.
