概要

 In the chaos following England's Glorious Revolution, the new king, William of Orange, faced a crisis: his war with France was bankrupting the nation. But from an unlikely source—a captured pirate ship in the Indian Ocean—came a staggering fortune. This is the story of how the richest pirate prize in history didn't just fill the crown's coffers; it became the seed capital for the world's first modern central bank. This episode charts the voyage of the *Ganj-i-Sawai*, the treasure ship of the Mughal Emperor, and its capture by the notorious English pirate Henry Every. We trace the labyrinthine path of the stolen gems, gold, and silver as they flowed from the holds of pirate vessels, through the hands of corrupt colonial governors and London financiers, and directly into the subscription book that founded the Bank of England in 1694. Listeners will discover the hidden financial architecture of the early modern world, where state power and criminal enterprise were inextricably linked. You'll learn how a single act of oceanic banditry provided the liquidity and credibility for a financial revolution that would underpin the British Empire for centuries. The destiny of a kingdom was purchased with pirate's plunder. #Piracy #FinancialHistory #BankOfEngland #HenryEvery #GanjISawai #GlobalFinance #GoldenAgeOfPiracy Hosted by Ibnul Jaif Farabi.
