Throughout history, men and women have dedicated themselves to raking in wealth in the form of old money, new money and blood money; a look at how they got it, spent it and how it affected their happiness, from Robber Barons to Mansa Musa of Mali.

Exploring why, from Liz Taylor to Attila the Hun, pain doesn't stop people from looking for love; how love is a driver of history, costing royalty their heads, generals their victories, and many people their sanity.

A look at industrial, sexual and political revolutions and how, despite pure motives, some still end up on the wrong side of history.
