From the prehistoric origins of jewelry and coinage to modern ETFs and mutual funds, this book bridges history and financial planning to explain, in plain language and easy-to-follow instructions, the economic theories and principles behind both time-tested and cutting-edge strategies for trading and investment. Gold is a paradox-capable of powering organized crime's shadow economies or being weaponized against tyrants and dictators to strengthen global democracy. The same gold that graces the altars of the world's religions or lies hidden in coin collections can uplift communities from poverty or trap them in cycles of debt. There's no real difference between the gold chains of American rap stars and the gold reserves of central banks in Keynesian and Marxist economies. By understanding gold's role throughout history as a universal currency-and the recent efforts to limit its use in America and India-you'll gain critical insights on how to prosper from your gold, make meaningful contributions to your community, and even help change the world!
