Most people think the Aztecs had a primitive barter economy that couldn't compete with Spanish silver coins. But there's a problem with that comfortable narrative - the Aztecs had actually created one of the most sophisticated anti-inflation currency systems in world history.
This documentary reveals how the Aztec Empire engineered a self-regulating monetary system using perishable cacao beans that automatically prevented hoarding, speculation, and inflation. Unlike durable Spanish silver that triggered continental price crises, Aztec currency was designed to degrade - forcing healthy economic circulation while maintaining purchasing power stability across a 15-million person empire. The Spanish didn't just conquer territory; they destroyed financial innovations that solved problems modern central banks still struggle with today.
The Aztecs proved that the most advanced economic systems work with natural limits rather than against them - and sometimes what history calls "progress" is actually sophisticated knowledge being forgotten.
