LF454 Dominic Frisby - The Secret History of Gold: Myth, Money, Politics & Power

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Dominic Frisby discusses his latest book The Secret History of Gold: Myth, Money, Politics & Power. Gold (noun): A precious, yellow metal, prized for its beauty. Inert, immune to corrosion, highly malleable though with little utility. Seen as pure wealth. The Secret History of Gold tells the epic tale of the world’s oldest, and most treasured, currency. From its origins in the formation of the solar system to its pivotal role in both ancient myth and modern finance, Dominic Frisby explores how gold has defined the entire course of human civilisation. Gold has inspired men to do the most brilliant – and terrible – things. The most stolen metal in history, it has lured explorers, conquerors and thieves. It has sparked wars, it has built empires, it has empowered leaders – from Alexander the Great to Adolf Hitler – good and bad. As nations today such as China and Russia mine and hoard gold at record rates, Frisby examines its enduring significance in the digital age and its potential to influence global peace and power. Understand the history of gold, and you start to see what politicians and central banks would rather you didn’t. This is the untold story of gold: its past, its present and its future.
