C2789 Dangerous capital (1/2)

Big Beard was one of the few people in that society who could see through the power of capital!

In ancient times, capital was simply the capital of merchants when they were doing business. Whoever possessed a lot of wealth, whether in cash, real estate or precious goods, would have the capital to do business.

In that era, capital was inextricably linked with business!

However, with the arrival of the The Age of Great Navigation, the massive wealth of the Ocean trade had caused a part of the merchants to turn into capitalists. Those merchants who possessed huge amounts of money felt more and more that using money to make money was much faster and more convenient than using it to buy and sell.

This way, the capital would begin its own path of evolution!

Capital was extracted from the original business and gradually became independent. However, these early capitalists soon discovered that the goal of being independent was too big. The cake placed on the surface would always encounter a lot of greed.

Among them, the power class to the capital erosion is very serious, the king is the early greatest enemy of capitalism!

The same problem existed in both East and West, but the two civilizations had taken different paths!

The capital of the East was bowed to the imperial power. They had to obey the rights!

The western capital would stand up against the imperial power until war broke out!

Britain's civil wars, including bloodless and glorious revolutions, were, after all, the work of early capitalists united against secular rights.

This was the second evolution of capital. They had successfully defeated the feudal empire that had ruled over mankind for thousands of years!

Let the proud king lower his noble head in front of the capital, even the queen has to play according to the rules of the capital market.

Doesn't everything look good? However, Big Beard understood that the evolution of capital was still far from over. If early evolution of capital was meant to protect oneself, then later evolution of capital would have fangs growing out.

Soon, capitalists began to control the country's currency distribution, and Britain looted the world's largest amount of gold through its vast colonies.

With control over the price of gold, a gold standard soon began to be born in the UK, and it was this stable currency that made the pound the world's most valuable currency.

With a huge amount of gold in endorsement, the City in London began to control the world economy!

Nathan was not boasting. Those big crocodiles in City of London were the true masters of this world. They possessed countless amounts of wealth.

If they wanted to, they could use the magic of money to influence all the government agencies in the world!

If they wanted to, they could start any war they wanted around the world!

As long as they were willing, they could use all sorts of methods to change geopolitics, cause the old empire to collapse, and allow a new nation to be born!

There was only one reason for them to do all of this, which was to make the capital ruling the world stronger and increase the value of their capital even faster. This way, these invisible kings who could control their capital would continue to enjoy the entire world!

Was the Rothschild family powerful? Of course, how could a family that could control the price of gold in Britain not be powerful?

However, this family that had surfaced on the surface of history wasn't the only one. He was merely the spokesperson of a major power, and behind him were countless great crocodiles that didn't want to show their faces in history, quietly influencing the entire world.

Big Beard had done one thing in his life, and that was to study the truth of this world. The core of all his theories was actually just two phrases!
