  Speaker 1: You're listening to you an airwave media podcast. Hi everybody,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and welcome to Hooded. What now the history podcast? That's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: not your history class, pitty, So it's the little bits
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of history they don't quite fit in it anywhere else
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: with me your host, Kerry Charlwood, History Harlott and reader
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of books. Well, it's been an interesting couple of days.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Ireland got knocked out of the Eurovision but that's because
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the song wasn't really anything like. It wasn't great. It
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: was fine, like, it was a fine song, but it
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't anything exciting. So the way I see it is,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do Eurovision right, what you need
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to do is get lalde. You have to go for it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You want to do a ballad, make it up proper
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: ballad and make it really sad, really lean into it,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: or make it really empowering. But if you're gonna go
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: like poppy or rocky like, you have to go phill pop,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: full rock, and it should be fun. I love it
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: when there's something like silly and fun or exciting and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: weird and wacky what my mum calls me. She's like,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you're kind of love this. It's Portugal and I'm like,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is she weird? Which is my automatic response. And I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: turn around and she's wearing an entire skirt me out
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of feathers, red feathers, and I'm like, I could make
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that outfit. I could wear that outfit because that's who
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I am as a person. I watch your vision and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: go I could get away with that outfit because of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: who I am as a person. That's just me. Though
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a Eurovision fan, I didn't like it for years
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: because it got really serious. I don't need your vision
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to be serious. I need your vision to be a bubble.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know, it should be you know, a good time,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: because if it's not, what the hell are you doing?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: But I don't know what you're thinking, you're thinking quite
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: your chipper chaper in fact me, in fact you, I will.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But first a disclaimer. I have a habit of speaking
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: well on this the way that I speak normally, So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there will be swear words, expletives, cursing, and if that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: isn't your jam, I suggest you go somewhere else for
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: your history lesson, because I'm going to talk the way
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I talk. I swear like a sailor. And if you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: find that offensive or rude, or unpleasant, then you might
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: want to get the fuck out. That being said, let
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: me tell you about sex workers, the American colonies, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the rise of the millionaire. See it all starts in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: pre revolutionary France, all the way back to the seventeen
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: high hundreds. King Louis the fourteenth, he's dead, we shame
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: rest his soul and whatnot. Sorrows, sorrows, prayers. So he's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know, in the dirt. And the next king, the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: other Louis, so many Louis just one after the other,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: consistently in a role. So yeah, Louis the fifteenth, he
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is too young to rule. So the Duke of Orleans,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: his uncle Philippe, he is ruling in his stead. So
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he's the acting region, right, and he has a money
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: man because Louis the fourteenth, you know, very popular man,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: popular leader, however, was absolutely shit stupid with money consistently
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: wedgein war was just oh man. And the country, France,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it is in debt, it's in bucket loads of debt.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It's up to its eyeballs. You know. The economy is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: completely stagnant at this point because they don't have really
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: anything going on, and they don't even have a reserve.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So like you know, you hear about gold reserve and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's like precious metals gold, silver and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the like. Normally this would be used as sort of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a backup for the currency. You know what the currency
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: would be gold, silver and whatnot. Ducats ah, not so
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: not so things weren't going well. So John Law is
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Scottish economist. I know, right, Oh you're gonna tell
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: me a story about a Scottish economist. This sounds very interesting, Katie.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I think this is who really exciting me with this.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Bear with me, okay, trust the process. John Law here
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: arrives in France. Months later, King Loway the fourteenth croaks
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it right leaves the country and a you know, just
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a shit storm. It's up quake with a paddle, you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And so the Duke of Orleans
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he's rolling and he needs to get money and they
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: need to make it fast and lucky for them. John
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Law pretty good with numbers, pretty good money. Also a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: bit of a gambler, likes to take a risk literally
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and figuratively, so he would not be allowed in the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: casino today because he counts cards. He's a mathematician, he's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, really fucking good with numbers. So he
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: uses his math mind and his economous mind and is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a sneaky little bastard and he comes up with an
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: idea and so again he is the money man. So
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he is the moneyman for the Duke of Orleans, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: he gets put in charge of the Bank General Prevy,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the private General Bank I say it, gets put in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: charge of. Really he's kind of the only man for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the job because he comes up with the idea of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: this private General Bank. Now, the purpose of this bank
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is to create paper money, because remember pre this, they're
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: all dealing with coins and jewels and other such luxuries.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And so the Bank General is created so that they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: can produce money. And it's one of like six banks
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that actually has paper money. I think there's was England, Venice, Genoa,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and I think one in Sweden maybe is that Sex.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, it's one of six. Enemy there's Holland, yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: because it's in Holland, and yes, I mean the region
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of Holland and not the country of the Netherlands, Holland, Friesland.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It's a cica. But yeah, so they've done that. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this is created to fight the national debts. So the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: paper is credit. So people would invest in the bank
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and some of the money would go into like making
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: paper money, and some of it would go into like
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: these government bonds which were kind of useless. But anyway,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: people purchase stock, the stock investor and other things. Blah
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Boring business stuff. Now, and this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: leads to him basically chasing these monopoly companies, right, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so these are companies that rule the entirety of all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of these areas. So France bank rolls these monopoly companies
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, it offers them stock. Again, boring business stuff. Now, Philippe,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the Duke of Orleans, he ends up putting law as
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they did in charge. Do you know the money man,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the money man, the money man, yes, the Controller General. Yeah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So he's the Controller General of finances, and he has
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so much power in control. So he's in charge of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: just how do I put this, every fucking thing, every
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: bloody thing. He's in charge of it money coming in,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: money going out, internal revenue, external revenue, giving him control
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: over money law, money law, laws about money, income, expenditure.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And this leads to like a bunch of reforms. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he creates the Mississippi Company, which changes you know and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: name later on. The Mississippi Company is actually a consolidation.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's all of the sort of trading companies in Louisiana.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: They're all smashed together to come under one monopoly, right,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So it's just one company in charge of all that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So he's over in Louisiana. Well he's not, but the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: company is. And he's at Hobnobourne with the rich and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the fans, say, you know, all of the will to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: dos in French society, and he starts convincing them that
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Louisiana is gonna make them so much money. They're going
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to be drowning in money. They're going to be so rich,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and they buy it. Literally, So everybody, everybody is desperate
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to get their claws into the Mississippi Company. They all
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: want a piece of this Mississippi Pie. I regret nothing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Missippy mud Pie. Oh yeah sounds good,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. Anyway, So people are investing it, and the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: share prices they are going through the roof, and so
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he has people like just printing off money. They're just
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: printing and printing and printing, and so there's more paper
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: money than there is like gold and silver all of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the Larjon and the shares, well, they're so popular that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: they are selling out and so like they're all buying
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: shares from each other. They're trying to get their hands
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: on it, and they're doing it with paper money. So
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the more money they spend, the more money gets printed.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You see. It's just like an a robberus. Just so
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this leads us to the rue Gaines and Pois. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: have probably mispronounced it, but I did my best. So
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it's the student in Marae and it's a way street,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it's Teneme Street, and shares are being traded outside of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the Mississippi the Mississippi Company's offices. And this is an
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: ancient street. Money lenders have been here, you know, for centuries,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and it is absolute chaos. It is pandemonia, right. So
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you've got traders out in the street all hours of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the night and day, and some people actually get jobs
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: as writing desks, so they would stand outside and they
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: would use the backs. People lean on their backs to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: like sign things and sell things like that is I mean,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that's that's extreme, right, So it becomes just wild. But
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that's again part of this story. So like they end
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: up building these gates like either side so that people
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: could watch, just like people trade stocks effectively, like there
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was entertainment. I mean, yeah, it's it's wild. So back
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to Louisiana. They think Louisiana is gonna be making this money.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: But there's not that many French people in Louisiana. So
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like the French colony, it is also wee it's tiny.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: There's just like seven hundred European colonists there, and it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: an it's it's a bog it's swamp like, it's not developed.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: They've got nothing there and there's it's it's not the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: most fruitful of endeavors. But John Law he is desperate
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to get more people there. He's you know, he's trying
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to get you know, more money, you know, for France,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and so he tries to you know sell it as
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: like you know, there's gold as far as the eye
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: can see. It is a bountiful land. I mean, it
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: is pretty bountiful if you know what you're looking for.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But he's just trying to sell people to go there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: But it's it's not everybody's you know, cup of tea
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: though not heading out there. It's not really working for him.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So he needs to get people in this colony, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: so he turns to prisons. He he goes for what
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: is effectively like the black sheep of society. So he
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: goes to He looks for criminals, he looks for sex workers,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: he looks for well, anybody and everybody, people that he
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: can force to go there. So at one point he's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: actually raiding or he's getting people to read for him.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: He's not doing himself, he's not doing the dirty work.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: He has hospitals raided because he's looking for you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the abject poor. He's looking for and I quote drunks
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and disorderly soldiers. And of course he heads to the jails.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So he goes to the prisons and he makes you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the people locked up in dungeons. I mean it's not
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: quite a dungeon, but like it's not exactly pleasant, is it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So he goes in and he makes him an offer
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that they really don't have a chance to, you know, refuse.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So he goes to the criminals and he goes, hey,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: do you want to stay in jail or do you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: want to marry a prostitute and sail to Louisiana and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: so like for a lot of people, they're like, Okay,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: so I get married and I have freedom, and I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: get to escape horrifically per France, where I have very
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: little options or opportunities, And so they say, yeah, absolutely,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: let's do this. See this works for him as well,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: because he's also seen as cleaning up France. You know.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: But it's not exactly a honeymoon for those who decide
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to go, because they don't just get sent on a ship.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: They don't have luxuries of any kind, unlike you know
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the previous settlers, say settlers, colonizers. When they head off,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: they have you know, they have money, they have backing,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they have options. And these the man and wife, they
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: are quite literally shackled together. So they are chained together,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: taken from the jail and then forced to board a ship.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: And it's not exactly a comfortable journey. They're cramped in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and after being stuck on a cramped, dirty, you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: disease ridden ship for several weeks and they finally land
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in you know, America. Well, this is going to shock you.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: But they were less than welcomed to see the people
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: who were already in the colonies. They were seen as
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: at least a little bit respective. Well, you know, they
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: weren't exactly you know, the dregs of society. And so
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: they say, these people come and they're like, fuck this
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: for a game of soldiers, and they start moving. So
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: they leave and they start heading to New Orleans because
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: they absolutely want to get the hell at a dodge.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: They want to get away from, you know, these people
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that they see as undesirables, like they are just not
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in it, not happy. Uh uh. So first the you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the respectables, they bugger off right because you know, they
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: feel like their camp's been invaded. And then the criminals,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the ex soldiers, the sex workers, they are
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: all just you know, left of their own devices. Things
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: are going well and they are hungry, and so they
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: end up deciding this ain't worth it and they leave too.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So they end up moving to the more populated areas, right,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And this is when Native Americans actually start reclaiming the territory.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: It also helps that they're actually used to it and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: they know the land almost as if they've been there
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: their entire fucking lives. Or kell Saprieze and John Law,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: he is desperately trying to prove that you know this
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: whole Louisiana situation, the Mississippi bubble, right, that it's profitable,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that things are going well, and it's like they are
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: forging paperwork and they're just like printing off more paper
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: notes to like investors, and they're printing off so much
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: money that some people are earning what they believe to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: be millions of francs in paper money, you know, which
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: leads to millionnaire, the creation of the millionaire. Now, unfortunately,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: this bubble is about to bust because word gets back
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: right that things are not going as well in Louisiana
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and as they have been you know, previously informed. And luckily,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like there's a one prince actually heard before everyone else
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and managed to like cash in and takes the majority
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of the gold out of the bank before he saunters off. However,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: people are pissed, right, so there isn't enough gold and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: silver to back up all these notes because there's only
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: like like a fifth of it really to cover it
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: before through. A fifth is not a great amount, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't help what this prince is buggered off with
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: three wagons of gold, like, and so word is out.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: People are panicking, and so they are desperate to try
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and like switch the notes back to gold, and so
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: these royal edicts are being pushed out that you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to be like gold isn't worth things.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: There's no about buying gold. It's devalued. And then you know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: they make printing money illegal and selling gold is always
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: well legal, so they can't they can't switch and swap
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: it like it's not happening. The bank then inevitably collapses
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and was it the paper money? It's what like half
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the value it says on it. It's just completely cut
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: down the middle and it it just it's pure unadulterated chaos.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: It's absolute madness, right, and like at one point you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: know that you know, it flips around and it makes
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: gold legally gain and this causes an actual stampede. So
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: people are, you know, they're desperate and they are you know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: trying to like exchange you know, all this paper for gold,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and seventeen people get crushed to death in a stampede
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and like a few minutes and this leads to more
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: anger and hmm, needless to say, this is still fresh
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in many minds and we all know what's coming for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: France after this so John Law naturally gets you know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the brunt of the blame for this, mainly because he
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: was the main man behind it, so we're not really surprised.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So there's this massive financial panic in France. People are
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: freaking out, they're beying for blood, and he has to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: literally flee, so he escapes Paris, but he has to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: do so disguised as a woman. You know, what's really
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: funny is like he saved his life by being in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: drag and also funny because last week's bidisode also involved
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: dressing up in disguises. I didn't even make that connection
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: until right now. So yeah, he just goes, he's out,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and he never goes back to France again, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: probably because he likes, you know, being alive. So he
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: ends up having to go away from the place of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: indome and his you know, twenty one other castles, twenty
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: one shuttle shuttle, imagine having van shuttle. Oh say, Clodie Blue.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: But here he was clearly doing well because he had
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: twenty one fucking castles. Twenty one castles. I just want one,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: oh bloody lovely castle. But anyway, he ends up buggering
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: off to Italy, where he gambles the rest of his
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: life before dying of pneumonia. But yes, that is the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: story of sex worker brides, the rise of the millionaire
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and you know, just chaos in France, just chaos. If

  Speaker 1: I feel like there was something important, but I genuinely
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: don't remember what that was. But I did think it
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: was a good idea for us to talk about something
