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.
