While the new force that Nixon
had unleashed - money - was eating away at the idea
that there was a fixed, predictable system that
any politician could control. Because the bankers had realised
that currencies could be traded globally, like any other asset. And what that had created was
a fluid, constantly-changing reality that no-one was fully in control of. Try 35.42, then! Hello? 35.42. It dropped 100 points.
We don't know why. It just dropped down in points when
everything else was staying still. Right, 30 other way! 30 other way! Change it! Change! MUSIC PLAYS

While the new force that Nixon
had unleashed - money -
00:00:04.044 --> 00:00:07.321
was eating away at the idea
that there was a fixed,
00:00:07.321 --> 00:00:10.044
predictable system that
any politician could control.
00:00:13.201 --> 00:00:16.281
Because the bankers had realised
that currencies could be traded
00:00:16.281 --> 00:00:18.801
globally, like any other asset.
00:00:20.641 --> 00:00:25.201
And what that had created was
a fluid, constantly-changing reality
00:00:25.201 --> 00:00:27.601
that no-one was fully in control of.
00:00:30.561 --> 00:00:31.801
Try 35.42, then!
00:00:31.801 --> 00:00:33.561
Hello? 35.42.
00:00:33.561 --> 00:00:35.361
It dropped 100 points.
We don't know why.
00:00:35.361 --> 00:00:38.721
It just dropped down in points when
everything else was staying still.
00:00:38.721 --> 00:00:40.521
Right, 30 other way! 30 other way!
00:00:40.521 --> 00:00:42.201
Change it! Change!
