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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGold 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eThis is the untold story of gold: its past, its present and its future. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e fabulous, fascinating, fantastical tale’ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eMatt Ridley, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eHow Innovation Works\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Well-researched and razor-sharp’ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAl Murray, comedian and historian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48103683391639,"sku":"9781405972345","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781405972345.webp?v=1786008526","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-secret-history-of-gold-9781405972345","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
