Echoes of Time

How De Beers manufactured the diamond engagement ring tradition from scratch in 1947 and built an $80 billion industry on a single advertising slogan ?

Diamonds are not rare. De Beers stores millions in vaults and releases them slowly to keep prices high. The engagement ring tradition was invented by an ad agency in 1947. Before that nobody expected a diamond. They lose 50–80% of value the moment you leave the shop.

The most expensive purchase of your life was a marketing campaign. 💎

How Britain and the CIA destroyed Iran's democratic government in 1953 to protect an oil company and triggered the Middle East crisis the world still lives with today ?

In 1951 Iran elected a leader who gave their oil back to the people. Britain and the CIA removed him in 19 days. Cost: $1 million. The oil went back to BP.

Then came 1979. The revolution. The hostage crisis. The wars. Everything you see in the Middle East today has a root in one corporate decision made in 1953. 🛢️
