Generally accepted reasons for the failure of most of the 'gold bubble' companies include over-optimism, insufficient capital, poor management, fraud and unfavourable colonial circumstances. Gold stealing and continued litigation were perhaps less obvious factors, as was the British Government's attitude. Prior to the gold rushes of the early 1850s, it appeared reluctant to regard Australia's eastern colonies as a potential source of gold, as well as pastoral wealth, despite evidence to the contrary. This official inertia contributed to the chaotic gold rushes of 1851-3, an environment that was anathema to company operations and the most common cause of their failure. The demise of virtually all of the 'gold bubble' companies discouraged further British investment in Australian gold mining until the 1880s. As a consequence, the expansion of the Victorian quartz mining industry in the early 1860s was hampered by a shortage of development capital from external colonial or overseas sources.

Between 1849 and 1853 shares in nearly 120 public companies to exploit the booming goldfields of California and Australia were offered to the British public. The companies were collectively capitalised at over £15 million, but in the end only some £1.75 million was actually raised between 42 of them, with only one company surviving what the newspapers of the day described as a ’gold bubble’. This book provides an overview of the entire bubble event, its antecedents and its outcomes. A number of researchers have investigated an earlier boom in the mid-1820s to reopen gold and silver mines in Latin America and several have studied individual company operations of that period. This is the first detailed investigation of the British gold bubble companies of the 1850s and their involvement in the almost simultaneous gold rushes on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

Nothing set the world in motion like gold. Between the discovery of California placer gold in 1848 and the rush to Alaska fifty years later, the search for the precious yellow metal accelerated worldwide circulations of people, goods, capital, and technologies. A Global History of Gold Rushes brings together historians of the United States, Africa, Australasia, and the Pacific World to tell the rich story of these nineteenth century gold rushes from a global perspective. Gold was central to the growth of capitalism: it whetted the appetites of empire builders, mobilized the integration of global markets and economies, profoundly affected the environment, and transformed large-scale migration patterns. Together these essays tell the story of fifty years that changed the world.
