When I got this book I thought it would be a nice how to guide for buying gold stocks. I didn't realize that it had been written in 1972. Things were very different then. Today investing is so much faster with computers giving people ability to buy and sell from home instantly. When this book was written the price of gold was about $42.00 per ounce, today as I write this gold is about $1242.00 per ounce. Still, I found that this was a good bunch of info on the history of gold and it's place in the history of world economics and politics. It also goes pretty deep into the process of mining as it was in the '70s. The author has a very definite opinion about governments and their attempts to control the value of and who possesses gold. His writing displays his contempt for the interference. I gave the book 4 stars because I found this book understandable and readable. I like learning about economics but I find that the books can be boring or difficult to understand the terminology. That was not a problem with this book. I think anyone who has an interest in gold or gold mining and even politics and gold would possibly enjoy this book.
