A brief spoken YouTube short (by Mike Koenigs) describing how the Bretton Woods Agreement and the Marshall Plan enabled the United States to lend money for post‑World War II reconstruction, creating conditions where other countries could rebuild, manufacture freely, and export to the U.S. without tariffs—effectively opening U.S. markets in a way not seen since the country’s founding.

Chapters

They had the Marshall Plan, which anybody wanted to borrow from the United States and to rebuild their economies. They could manufacture anything they wanted and they could sell it into the United States and there'd be no tariffs. This is the first time since the US had been a country when there were no tariffs.
