Автор:Peter L. Bernstein Год: 2005 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: [не указано] ISBN: 9501522415 Book Description The role of gold in shaping human history is the striking feature of this tumultuous tale that discusses the magical, religious, and artistic qualities of gold and progresses to the invention of coinage, the transformation of gold into money, and the gold standard. Far more than a tale of romantic myths, daring explorations, and the history of money and power struggles, this tale speaks of the true significance of this element, the timeless passions it evokes, and its revelations about humanity.
