Why did the price of gold hit record highs in 2008? Take a look at the headlines Government bailouts of failed banks, mortgage and credit crises,
rising inflation, slowing growth and global insecurity. In order to
protect themselves from treacherous financialmarkets and
depreciated paper currencies investors worldwide are turning to
gold.Gold has long been used as money and as a store of wealth, but
what's the source of its value? Why does that value sometimes rise
so high and at other times fall so low? And what do we know about
gold's complex and often tumultuous past that may yield clues about
how it may behave in the future? Gold is a side show on a world financial stage dominated by the dollar. The tail can't wag the dog -gold prices are affected by changes in prospects for the dollar and not vice versa. With uncertain outcomes for the American and global economies, gold's stateless money franchise makes this book compelling reading.
