This week on the CoinWeek Podcast- we are going to talk about The Spirit Bank of Chicago and its enigmatic founder Seth Paine. The Spirit Bank of Chicago was founded in 1852 when Free Banking rules allowed for an explosion in that industry. Paine’s bank was based on his deeply felt spiritual beliefs and it wasn’t long before it garnered the attention of foes that wished to do it in. It’s a fascinating story of humanism, persecution, and resilience and you will learn all about it next, when author Nancy Schumm joins us, on the CoinWeek Podcast.
