excellent but should be updated. author has changed his view on ownership of gold since book printed.

Good popular text, excellent and interesting illustrations, good bibliography, good index ( )

history of gold? impossible!
much better than Greenback - history of US dollar.
covers ancient gold fever, gold standard with textbook clarity, dollarization i think, a few more tidbits. concludes (if i remember) that gold is temporarily reduced to pure commodity, (no apps but aesthetic and computer components). history of risk was cool ( )
