GOLD: The Story of Man’s 6,000 Year Obsession, Video Part 2
The Story of Man’s 6,000 Year Gold Obsession from PBS America: Part 2 of this video will look at how gold trades in traditional financial centres such as London and New York, and travel East to Dubai to see how gold is bought and sold in the real world, away from computer screens. Grant Williams will also examine some of the many conspiracy theories surrounding gold and ask the question: is the price of gold manipulated, and if so, who by and why? Finally, we will look to the future and ask the all-important question – will gold’s place at the centre of the financial universe continue, and if so, how will it change as governments, faced with mountainous debt, slowly tighten the noose of financial repression around their citizen’s necks? How does gold provide a possible escape route in times of financial stress? What role could gold play in a new post-crisis financial system, and why does it matter that physical gold has been steadily moving from East to West? Part 2 of 2.
