A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the surprising economic turmoil beneath Edo's peaceful surface. They discuss the rise of rice as currency, the devastating famines of the 18th century, the shifting wealth from samurai to merchant chonin, and the reforms of shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. Along the way, they touch on the Kyoho Reforms, the role of the Osaka rice brokers, and how the samurai's dependence on rice stipends sowed the seeds of their own decline. A nuanced look at how Japan's stability came at a hidden cost.
