Rothschild made a fortune in the bond market through inside knowledge of what's going on.
If you fund wars, you know slightly earlier what's going to happen.
That episode is quite well...
documented, but Ricardo was a bond trader.
He was likely one of those who as agents bought the bonds when they were at the rock bottom and you could get them for, I don't know, 20 pennies in the pound for Rothschild without people realizing, you know, Rothschild is actually buying them very cheaply and then own the entire national debt.
And then could say to the Bank of England, well, actually, your assets are mostly bonds.
I'm the biggest bond owner.
I'm buying the shares cheaply.
And could dictate anything to the government or the royal house, it seems.
But this David Ricardo, having made his fortune, then retired at the age of 42.
and build himself a nice little country house, Princess Royal, Princess Anne lives in it today, so it's probably quite impressive, I think 700 acres of land.
Anyway, so he was seriously wealthy.
What did he do with the rest of his time?
He decided to create modern economics, which is based on assumptions, this hypothetical axiomatic deductive simulation.
Now, you can make any assumption in logic,
Why not?
But when certain assumptions become compulsory,
Like you have to assume perfect information, complete markets, rational agents and all that stuff.
Then it's an ideology.
That's the definition of an ideology.
