Gold

Chapter Part I in Gold, the Dollar and Watergate, 2015, pp 7-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Stirring words spoken by French president Charles de Gaulle on February 4, 1965, based on a centuries-old and widely held conviction. Capturing the spirit of the preference for gold, the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw declared: You have to choose between trusting in the natural stability of gold and natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the government. And, with due respect to the gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.5
