Why is it not taught in history class that the absence of a stable currency leads to the exclusion of societies from each other, to serfdom, narrow-mindedness, diseases, and religious persecution? In short, everything we can observe in Europe today?

Yeah, there is a reason why history and economics are taught separately…
So dumb. It's so closely related to each other. But they only teach the 'action movie' parts, like this king attacked that king and so on.
Under the assumption of progressive history the past really doesn’t matter or apply as of value to be studied. Only so much as to what can be forecast like the weather. The present moment becomes all that matters - what can my credit buy me today…
Well, I still find history interesting because of what you can learn about human nature or better human nafs. Those little 'kings' they had in the past ... now we're all kind of 'kings' in terms of having similar possibilities and luxuries. So it shows we're just repeating history but on a micro scale.
