Krátky popis
‘Essential reading’ Rory Sutherland, author of Alchemy‘Possibly the
best-timed book ever’ Merryn Somerset Webb, Bloomberg ‘A fabulous,
fascinating, fantastical tale’ Matt Ridley, author of How
Innovation Works‘Well-researched and razor-sharp’ Al Murray,
comedian and historianGold (noun): A precious, yellow metal, prized
for its beauty. Inert, immune to corrosion, highly malleable though
with little utility. Seen as pure wealth.The definitive biography
of the metal that has shaped our world – and may yet determine its
fate. 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, with wit and
brevity, 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. This is the untold story of gold:
its past, its present and its future.
