Florence and the Renaissance: Crash Course European History #2

Рет қаралды 2,052,871

Күн бұрын

The Renaissance was a cultural revitalization that spread across Europe, and had repercussions across the globe, but one smallish city-state in Italy was in many ways the epicenter of the thing. Florence, or as Italians might say, Firenze, was the home to a seemingly inordinate amount of the art, architecture, literature, and cultural output of the Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo daVinci, Sandro Boticelli, and many others were associated with the city, and the money of patrons like the Medici family made a lot of the art possible. Today you'll learn about how the Renaissance came to be, and what impact it had on Europe and the world.

Another contribution of Renaissance bankers: modern paper money. At a time when specie (coin money) was most common, natural inflation due to economic growth meant people were using more and more coins with every transaction. So as merchants began dealing with more vast sums, they needed easier ways to handle it all. Meanwhile, the Chinese were working off a system wherein the Emperor would pay for large expenses through promissory notes (statements if money the Emperor owed people). These notes could be brought to the capital to be exchanged at any time for gold, but merchants realized you could circulate the notes just as easily as coin. These notes were soon introduced in Italy, backed by banks and could be exchanged for gold or silver. Soon, Banks realized they could exchange notes from each other for their own notes at a markup. They could also issue more notes than they actually had the gold for, because it was highly unlikely a lot of people would exchange their notes for gold at any one time. At that point, you basically have a primitive paper money. Nationalize your currency, get onto the gold standard, get off the gold standard, and voila. Modern money.

I like the ending reflection/lesson. I think in times of despair or supposed degradation we tend to look at certain periods of the past as better. In fact it took ages for them to get there capitalizing on slowly and arduously built tech that we today inherited. Its easy to glorify something unfamiliar because we didn't share the pain and effort that eventualized it.

For real though, the reason I like Crash Course is easily explained by this video. There's all this detail on the Renaissance beyond the great artists and the Medici. There's real detail to the segment about common people in this time period to support the argument that the Renaissance was more of a wealthy merchant thing than a true social revolution. Then it ties into a universal sentiment expressed in historical eras. This is on a free KZfaq channel, and it's a bit above the level of information and thought provocation I got in college level history courses.
