In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Black Death accelerated the transformation of Italian banking from family-run shops into the financial titans that would bankroll popes and kings. After a brief recap of the plague's demographic devastation, they focus on the Bardi and Peruzzi families of Florence, whose massive loans to Edward III of England ended in spectacular defaults that sent shockwaves through Europe. From there, they trace the rise of the Medici bank under Giovanni di Bicci, examining innovations like the branch system, bills of exchange, and double-entry bookkeeping. Lucas explains how the labor shortages after the plague drove up wages and created new investment opportunities, while also discussing the moral debates over usury and the Church's evolving stance. Luna asks about the role of Jewish moneylenders and the connection to the Crusades. The episode ends with a reflection on how the plague didn't just kill millions — it rewired the financial DNA of Europe. #BlackDeath #ItalianBanking #Medici #Bardi #Peruzzi #EdwardIII #Florence #DoubleEntryBookkeeping #BillsOfExchange #Usury #GiovannidiBicci #14thCentury #MedievalEconomy #BankingHistory #PlagueAftermath #History #FexingoHistory #FinancialRevolution Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
