A História do Dinheiro: Da Moeda de Ouro ao Padrão-Ouro e Além
O padrão-ouro foi um sistema monetário em que o valor das moedas estava diretamente relacionado ao ouro. Esse sistema desempenhou um papel fundamental na história do dinheiro e a transição para as moedas fiduciárias. O vídeo tratando do “Padrão Ouro” fornece uma visão geral desse importante marco na história econômica.
As Origens
Há quase 2600 anos, as primeiras moedas de ouro foram cunhadas e utilizadas para o comércio. Mais tarde, as pessoas começaram a armazenar seu ouro em cofres bem guardados e compravam bens e serviços usando os recibos dados a elas pelos responsáveis pelos cofres – pedaços de papel que podiam sempre trocar por ouro real.
A Ligação com o Ouro
No início, a maioria das moedas estava diretamente ligada ao ouro, como o nome “padrão-ouro” sugere. As pessoas podiam ir a um banco e trocar um pedaço de papel por ouro. No entanto, a ligação ao ouro sofreu mudanças ao longo do tempo. Após 1945, as moedas passaram a ser vinculadas ao dólar dos EUA, que por sua vez era vinculado ao ouro a uma taxa de US$35 por onça. Indivíduos já não podiam mais trocar dinheiro de papel por ouro, mas os bancos centrais podiam.
O Declínio do Padrão-Ouro
Porém, desconfianças em relação ao dólar dos Estados Unidos resultaram na conversão de dólares em ouro físico por parte de países como a França. Com as reservas de ouro dos EUA diminuindo rapidamente, o presidente Nixon interrompeu essa prática em 1971, efetivamente encerrando o sistema de padrão-ouro. A partir desse ponto, o dinheiro fiduciário passou a ser respaldado pela confiança, e seu valor em relação a outras moedas flutua conforme a oferta, a procura e a confiança nas respectivas economias.
A Evolução do Sistema Financeiro
Com o fim do padrão-ouro, o sistema financeiro global continuou a evoluir para atender às necessidades e confiança das pessoas. Esta mudança é um reflexo da constante evolução da economia e das finanças ao longo da história.
FAQ
O que é um padrão-ouro?
O padrão-ouro foi um sistema monetário em que o valor das moedas era diretamente relacionado ao ouro. As moedas podiam ser trocadas por ouro nos bancos centrais.
O que causou o declínio do padrão-ouro?
Desconfianças em relação ao dólar dos Estados Unidos levaram a uma conversão em massa de dólares em ouro por outros países, esgotando rapidamente as reservas de ouro dos EUA e resultando no fim do sistema em 1971.
Conclusão
A história do padrão-ouro e sua transição para as moedas fiduciárias oferece insights sobre a evolução monetária ao longo dos séculos. É um lembrete do constante dinamismo das finanças e da economia, moldadas por necessidades e confiança em constante evolução.
So we shot ourselves in the foot. Great.
I’ll just wait for the inflation to crash the U.S. and the New Ottoman Empire emerges out of the state of Ohio, conquering what used to be called America, and creating a money system with the cow-dung standard. In other words, you trade your $10 paper for 10 piles of cow dung.
it is backed by trust me bro
It's always France's fault smh
Then they evolved noses for it
Based on “confidence” = DEBT/WAR “security” 🇺🇸🇬🇧👎🏼👎🏼 lol
A constraining mechanism to credit creation…the government can’t borrow unlimited amounts
No confidence…………………..
And the thing is they can print more money from nothing and cause inflation and give it as loans too!!!
Wow entire economy is just bullshit
Great work
As weird as it might sound, this is one of the reasons the social gap is growing rapidly since the late 40s!
Just one example: Money isnt backed by gold anymore so the state can just give you money that they printed to spend. This money is spend by you and the money goes to rich people who own the companies. They now have an incredibly high income flow in times when they shouldnt. They cant keep it, because inflation is gonna hit, so they invest.
It enables Keynesian economics. They never work in the long run, a supply-based economy would be better, but politicians want to be voted and the rich want their money!
in other words its frances fault
So the banks f'd us for profit
The problem with fiat currency is that once it is not directly pegged to gold, silver, or something tangible; a government can print money to their hearts content. And that is exactly what is happening in the USA. $5 trillion in deficit spending in less than 5 years.
An oversimplified way but yeah thats exactly it
It doesn't have to be gold. Silver, copper or anything do just fine. As long as it's not paper monopoly money.

the dollar is basically like crypto
This why I just paid $20 for a meal for 1 at the take out spot?
Well. the US dollar is not entirely based on confidence. It is back by BONDS. For every dollar created, a bond is created. It is a based on borrowed money.
what software have you used for animations?
It was Harry Truman that started the central banks intentionally
Nixon and Wilson are both to blame
Thought the Fiat fraudulent banking system was started by President Wilson??? … After WWI/Great War… it was pushed through by the League of Nations in Austria (Hitler is from Austria, was brass in WWI for Germany and he is Jewish) – my family lost the farm due to ‘silver certificates’ being worth nothing after Wilson caved to the LON.… then WWII put a seal on the fiat system (think Hitler again!) . POTUS Kennedy wanted to go back to the gold standard… and now you know why he is no longer with us. BTW the League of Nations today is the WEF= UN= WHO. The WEF is run by Schwabs/Rothschilds (Klaus Schwab/Rothschild)… and they control the Central Bank and the Federal Reserve. The dead queen of England was kin to Klaus… they are both Rothschilds. POTUS Trump wants to go back to the Gold Standard (along with BRICS), now you know why the WEF wants him extinguished too….
So who has all the mother-fucjing gold?
Wow.. this all just sounds like a huge world wide scam… the USA basically printed more than they could back and then basically screwed over everyone else.
biased explanation. you barely explain it properly. delete this video.
yeah here goes your freedom and your slaved to dollar which is controlled by US istead use uae gold and not to worry about what US think about you can do thinga inbetween
Is gold coming from the east differnt from the west or do gold not lose value?????
Is Gold coming fom South America different from gold in Amerca or do gold not lose value???
hahaha the united states and therefore the world is such a funny sounding sentence I understand what he means but lol
This is a gross oversimplification of the gold standard and an uneducated explanation of flexible exchange rates.
To illustrate the strength of flexible exchange rate systems over the gold standard:
From August 7th, 2020 – March 31st, 2021 (less than 8 months), an extreme global economic recession took hold. Over this period the price of gold (measured in USD (XAUUSD)) fell by almost 18%. Over the same period, the Nominal Broad Trade-weighted U.S. Dollar Index (The exchange rate or value of the US dollar relative to its major trading partners(DTWEXBGS)), only fell about 3%. The Canadian Dollar Currency Index (CXY) actually grew almost 7% over the same recessionary period relative to other countries.
This alone should illustrate the safety and efficiency of floating exchange rate currency systems and how it works to stabilize and reduce recessionary pressures in times of economic crisis.
What this video isn't telling you:
1) Storing and transporting the gold across the world can cost a lot and be inefficient.
2)In times of growth and economic expansion, there will be limited money supply that will limit the growth of a nation's economy. Essentially stopping the economy from reaching its full potential. Markets are inefficient under the gold standard.
3) The central bank of a country can only afford to hold so much gold in reserves, so in an economic downturn/recession, the reserves can be depleted because the government will try and sell all its gold to maintain the exchange rate and eventually run out of gold. As gold leaves the country in mass amounts, citizens will be required to sell their investments and deplete their own reserves of gold. This can negatively affect one's capacity to generate enough savings to retire. The country is still dependant on trust and confidence in their government to ensure this does not happen in the first place.
4) Just as we are dependant on oil supply (in most of the developed world) to determine our aggregate output (national income), we will be dependant on the price of gold and suffer from extreme boom and bust cycles because our economy is open to speculative attacks from other countries to devalue our currency by manipulating the price of gold and buy our resources for a fraction of their true value. Extreme economic swings will have a major impact on the lives of everyone. Periods of major unemployment and inflation are worsened and more common.
5) The use of the gold standard puts up a lot of trade barriers and limits a nation's capacity to trade and adjust prices and wages in periods of economic downturns, slowing the time between recessions and booms: longer recessions.
6) During economic crisis, as seen in the great depression, the gold standard limits the central bank's ability to implement monetary policy in order to tame inflation or control interest rates. This could lead to "stagflation" where economic growth is slowed or declining while inflation continues to increase. This is one of the main reasons it was abolished.
Realistically, both systems have their pros and cons and the gold standard is far from perfect. YES, we have all heard about how the central bank and the federal reserve can just "print" money, but this is done in a well thought out and calculated manner to reduce inflation, boost economic prosperity, and promote economic stability that benefits everyone.
