In the ever-shifting terrain of global finance, understanding the invisible architecture that governs economic outcomes has never been more critical. This book was born out of a frustration with surface-level analyses that reduce the complexity of international finance to mere numbers. Institutions matter. From central banks to legal frameworks, from regulatory agencies to informal norms-they define how wealth is created, distributed, and preserved across nations. The Architecture of Wealth is not just an intellectual exploration; it is a strategic roadmap for interpreting the real forces shaping our economic future.
