Today on The Story of Money, the 19th century construction project that helped make New York the country's premier financial center, we're talking about the 363-mile-long Erie Canal.
which links the Atlantic Ocean to America's interior.
and how its construction almost never happened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean we used to work together and you were constantly ranting about Muni bonds and why they're so important.
Well
Yeah, I mean I'm glad this is what gets you excited.
Um most ordinary mortals don't actually feel so passionate about the Erie Canal.
Okay, so Muni bonds are not sexy, but they're critical to how finance works today.
Um, not just for the issuers of governments, but also for the investors.
And today we're going to start off by talking about the Erie Canal and the founding fathers and the future presidents who were part of the story, who loved it, and some hated it too, and a New York City mayor who
just like today, made a lot of headlines and actually made sure it got built.
So
Welcome to the story of money from the Financial Times with me, Gillian Tet.
