An interdisciplinary and global approach to the different roles and
impact of gold on society and the global economy from the late 19th
century to the modern day.
This book provides a historical analysis that integrates the
different roles of gold--monetary, commodity, banking, industrial
and cultural--with the multiple actors- central banks, mining
groups, refineries, bullion houses and major banks - to provide an
understanding of their particular interests and reciprocal
influence on the global gold market from the late 19th century to
the present day. Adopting an inter-disciplinary and global
approach, it establishes an innovative and rich dialogue between
different branches of the social sciences, including
microeconomics, business history, sociology, political and economic
history.
Coverage of the book will include a comprehensive overview of the
many facets of the global gold market's organization, from the
extraction of this precious metal to its consumption. Special
attention is given to some of the major international gold markets,
such as London, Hong Kong, and Zurich, and to the national and
global regulations regarding the gold trade. The book studies both
the legal and illegal circuits of gold, as well as their
interrelation. Together, the contributions show the complex
networks and actors involved in different phases of this commodity
chain, from the main gold producers, such as South Africa; to the
major European financial markets; and then to the traditional Arab
and Asiatic hoarding centres.
This collection of essays, most of which utilise new archival
resources, will be of great interest to students and researchers
examining the role of this key element in monetary, financial,
political and social history.
