The Story of Money · The financial crash that created Britain’s first prime minister · 15 Jul 2026
podcast
Today on the story of money.
We're going to be looking at how Britain's economy bounced back after Britain's first huge financial crisis in the 1700s.
How just one man rode the path of success to become Britain's first de facto prime minister.
Yeah, so it's uh April 1721.
Robert Walpole has achieved something unprecedented.
He's taken control of the three most important positions in Britain's government.
The first time in history, one person held all three of them.
He has control of policy, finances, and law.
Yeah, and if you want to hear about how the South Sea bubble happened, uh, you can go back to our previous episode on the formation of the South Sea Company and how crazy things got.
But today we're going to be talking specifically about the aftermath.
Because Robert Woolpole's rise to power is not just one of those curious outcomes of the South Sea bubble.
It kind of shows how finance and financial events can have a huge impact.
Impact on the fate of the world.
