Hello and welcome to this very special episode of Epochs. I just want to let you all know

that I am taking a one episode hiatus from my narrative of the decline of fall of the Roman

Republic if anyone are tuned in to hear about Caesar and Pompey because I recorded a

conversation very interesting conversation I thought with Mr Godfrey Bloom all about

the history of money and I recorded it a couple of weeks ago now and I didn't want to

keep the man waiting another month or two

before I put it out so a one episode hiatus from the Roman Republic where I

talked to Mr. Goffrey Bloom all about money.

Hello and welcome to this very special interview where I am joined once again by Mr. Godfrey Bloom, how are you sir?

I'm good, thank you very much indeed. Yes, thank you for coming in.

No, it's our pleasure as always, an absolute pleasure.

So today we thought we'd talk a little bit about money,

the history of money, financial markets, gold, that's sort of your forays, and it gold,

one of your many forays. And there's some great clips out there some

absolutely superb clips of you are splitting fire in the in the European Parliament

at these people for their sort of dogmatic wrong-headedheaded economic views and anyway you're something of an expert on it which

I, despite working in the financial services for the best part of 20 years, still am not.

So it's just, it would just be great to sort of pick your brain

about these sorts of things if that's all right with you. Yeah that that would be

fun the thing with financial services such a broad spectrum there are bits I don't anything about, as well,

the capital ventures and stuff.

So everybody's got this sort of little bit.
