How Colonialism Shaped Modern Financial Systems

For centuries, colonial powers didn’t just redraw world maps — they engineered the foundations of today’s global financial system. From the creation of joint-stock companies and early stock markets to the forced taxation and currency systems imposed on colonies, the modern economy is deeply connected to decisions made hundreds of years ago. This video breaks down how colonialism shaped: ✔ Global banking ✔ Currency systems ✔ Taxation models ✔ Extractive trade routes ✔ Infrastructure design ✔ Debt and structural adjustment ✔ Global inequality & capital flow patterns We explore why Western economies enjoy strong currencies and deep financial markets while many former colonies remain resource-dependent or debt-burdened. Understanding these historical systems helps explain why inequality persists — and whether today’s financial order should be reformed.
