The first global-modern fiat monetary inflation was when the Spanish plundered South America for silver.

They funneled massive amounts into Europe, blood money, yet the first monetary QE.

It funded all modern history until the Industrial Revolution, which piggybacked on that by the exploitation of global resources, principally Oil.

This piggybacked modern Colonialism, the Federal Reserve and the Dollar as the Global Reserve Currency.

Walk around most capital cities Europe or worldwide and assume that everything you see was the result of plunder? Just like building a proper business is hard organic and long term slog so is building a civilised society? Anything else is theft from someone somewhere🤷‍♂️
