The First Economic Rulebook: The True Purpose of Hammurabi’s Code

Описание: This wasn’t the first law code written for justice.
It was the first system designed to stop economic collapse.

Four thousand years ago, long before modern banks, contracts, or financial regulations, the Code of Hammurabi quietly introduced something far more powerful than morality: predictable economic rules. In this video, we uncover the true purpose behind Hammurabi’s Code and why it functioned as the world’s first economic rulebook, not a moral one.

Most people remember Hammurabi for “an eye for an eye.” But that famous phrase hides a deeper truth. The majority of Hammurabi’s laws dealt with debt, wages, contracts, liability, and risk — the same forces that still shape modern economies today. This video breaks down how ancient Babylon used law to control instability, prevent financial collapse, and protect power.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why Hammurabi’s Code focused on money, debt, and contracts

How ancient laws were designed to stabilize trade, not enforce fairness

The hidden economic logic behind class-based punishments

How Hammurabi’s system compares to modern financial policies

Why economic systems prioritize survival over justice

This isn’t just ancient history. It’s a blueprint that still influences how power manages risk today.

📌 Watch till the end to see how these ancient rules connect directly to modern banking, inflation, and debt systems.
