_______________ 'Enormously entertaining' - Sunday Times 'Exhaustive and convincingly argued' - Observer 'A complicated story well told, from which financial lessons emerge naturally' - Financial Times _______________ A unique look at the financial world and its troubled history, from the disaster that befell Spain in the sixteenth century to the 2008 global financial crisis In the sixteenth century, Spanish conquistadors discovered the New World. The vast quantities of gold and silver would make their country rich, yet the new wealth, which was plunged into multiple wars, would eventually lead to the economic ruin of their empire. Here, historian and politician Kwasi Kwarteng shows that this moment in world history has been echoed many times, from the French Revolution to both World Wars, right up to the present day, when our own financial crisis saw many of our great nations slip into financial trouble. Kwarteng reveals a pattern of war-waging, financial debt and fluctuations between paper money and the gold standard, and creates a compelling study of the powerful relationship that has shaped the world as we know it, that between war and gold. _______________ 'Searing ... Few stones are left unlifted in this study, the subtitle of which gives every clue as to its ambition' - Independent

The world was wild for gold. After discovering the Americas, and under pressure to defend their vast dominion, the Habsburgs of Spain promoted gold and silver exploration in the New World with ruthless urgency. But, the great influx of wealth brought home by plundering conquistadors couldn't compensate for the Spanish government's extraordinary military spending, which would eventually bankrupt the country multiple times over and lead to the demise of the great empire. Gold became synonymous with financial dependability, and following the devastating chaos of World War I, the gold standard came to express the order of the free market system. Warfare in pursuit of wealth required borrowing -- a quickly compulsive dependency for many governments. And when people lost confidence in the promissory notes and paper currencies issued during wartime, governments again turned to gold. In this captivating historical study, Kwarteng exposes a pattern of war-waging and financial debt -- bedmates like April and taxes that go back hundreds of years, from the French Revolution to the emergence of modern-day China. His evidence is as rich and colorful as it is sweeping. And it starts and ends with gold.

The War on Gold is a definitive study of the past, present, and future of the metal that Keynesian economists and political schemers have denounced as a barbarous relic. The war on gold began several centuries ago, when politicians discovered they could print limitless amounts of paper currency for a small fraction of the cost of using gold as money. It has accelerated in recent years...as the U.S. acquired paper debt, deficits, which led to double-dip inflation, and internationalists plotted to create a new world order.

Southern Africa was once regarded as a worthless jumble of British colonies, Boer republics, and African chiefdoms, a troublesome region of little interest to the outside world. But then prospectors chanced upon the world's richest deposits of diamonds and gold, setting off a titanic struggle between the British and the Boers for control of the land. The result was the costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating war that Britain had waged in nearly a century, and the devastation of the Boer republics. The New Yorker calls this magisterial account of those years “[an] astute history.… Meredith expertly shows how the exigencies of the diamond (and then gold) rush laid the foundation for apartheid.”

Investment industry veteran and gold expert E.B. Tucker explores why now is the time to protect your wealth. He guides readers through a history of government money losing value compared to gold which stands the test of time. A "how to guide" for anyone concerned about the state of money today, this 3-part book explains why gold is a trusted asset in the ranks of the world's financial elite.Gold is the only asset that's not someone else's liability. Apartments rely on paying tenants, stocks rely on company profits, bonds rely on stable interest payments. Gold doesn't rely on anyone or anything for its value. That makes it unique among assets. During a period of financial turmoil, it's invaluable. Tucker guides investors in simple terms through the ways to own gold, from physical bars, to coins, and even mining stocks. He also discusses his favorite method, gold royalty companies. From a financial novice to an investment professional looking to get up to speed on the gold market, Why Gold? Why Now? is the essential guide to the world of gold.

"Timely, topical, and thought-provoking.... This is a terrific analysis of how states have tried to bend finance to their will over the ages." --Randall Germain, Carleton University "An important contribution to our understanding of the relationship between finance and national security, exploring how the financial sector itself offers opportunities to exert influence." --Thomas Oatley, Tulane University "The sinews of war," posited Cicero, "are infinite money." Can the same be said of security? Tackling this thought-provoking question, the authors of Waging War with Gold show how states across the centuries have weaponized the global finance domain--a constellation of economic, legal, and monetary relations--in order to exert influence and pursue national interests. CONTENTS: The Financial Battlespace. What Is the Financial Domain? Fiscal Strategies in Antiquity. Medieval Money, Markets, and Mayhem. The Mercantilist Revolution. Pax Britannica and the Gold Standard. From the Great War to World War II. Bretton Woods and the American Century. The Digital Revolution in Financial Affairs. The Next Fifty Years of Financial Competition.
