There are many gold books out but none easier and short to read than Mathew Hart's book called "Gold". The book gives a quick detail of the allure of this metal on humanity and in this book he pretty much informs about the new gold rush of modern times and the sudden emergence of China being into this precious valuable commodity. The booms and busts of the gold cycle is studied and explained in hart's piece and this author also has written about diamonds in past years. hart talks about the Roosevelt administrations goals of preventing gold hoarding and his decision to confiscate gold from the wealthy masses did much to improve the economy of America giving a huge advantage and power for the dollar.
The author also looks at Chinese mining operations and the willingness and hazard attempts to extricate gold from rocks the Chinese are willing to risk their health. the human dramas and mass economic crimes that this one mineral has caused is included with a few samples of some of the recent epidemics gold has caused from around the world through a few stories hart has collected and shared through this work. his work on the Ashanti kingdom and how quickly England worked to suppress and annex this gold kingdom out of pure greed was a valuable read. China has become the new gold extracting titan of the world and much of this book is about the sudden craze of the Chinese government and the average citizen to go mining for this rock. We have mined more gold in the past few decades than six thousand years of civilization and Hart takes us inside this secretive world and the role of gold for manipulating the financial markets. gold is a scam and pretty much a way for rich people to hoard and create wealth out of essentially nothing and nothing is more egregious than the few uses man has used gold aside from looking.
