Nowadays, you hear advertisements for gold everywhere. Some people want to buy it; some people want to sell it. Its fluctuating worth is always a topic of financial discussion. Do you understand the market forces behind this highly tradable commodity? If not, this brief audiobook produced by iMinds and narrated in a straightforward, plainspoken style and voice by Emily Sophie Knapp will set you right. You will learn about the history of the "gold standard" of currency, the move away from the gold standard due to malfeasance and other political turmoil, and the reasons why gold is now considered a fairly stable investment, or hedge against loss. Finally, you will learn of the various ways to invest in gold.
Summary
Learn about Gold Trading with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Gold trading is the investment in and trading of gold as a commodity.

The notes and coins in your wallet now are termed “fiat money”. This means that the government declares them to have worth. The adoption of this form of money is relatively recent in history.
