The Importance of Language Learning and Historical Shifts
This chapter delves into the speaker's experiences with language learning, specifically in Spanish and Chinese. They discuss the significance of using a Spanish dictionary instead of a translation dictionary and share their journey towards fluency. The conversation then transitions to exploring the historical shifts in power and wealth, highlighting the impact of European colonization, the slave trade, and the economic crash caused by an oversupply of gold and silver in Spain and Italy.
