How the U.S. turned war into a business model

Wars don’t just change borders — they reshape money and power. From World War I bonds to the Vietnam inflation spiral, from the petrodollar to the trillion-dollar War on Terror, every conflict has been a financial opportunity for those who knew how to profit. Meanwhile, ordinary people paid the price through taxes, inflation, and lost wealth.

This episode of The Financial Historian uncovers the hidden financial system behind modern wars — and how the same tactics still shape your cost of living, your debt, and your financial freedom today. Understanding this history is more than financial education; it’s the key to protecting yourself in a world where money and power are inseparable.

Learn how wealth is created, lost, and weaponized.
Because history doesn’t repeat — it compounds.
