  • Resumen

  • Why are humans seemingly hardwired to worship gold?

    It is unique amongst metals: it is malleable, it doesn’t tarnish, and it shines like nothing else. Over time it has come to symbolise wealth and status. It can represent goodness and fidelity but also greed and lust.

    Financial educator, author and broadcaster Alvin Hall explores why we are so obsessed with this particular metal, and what it represents around the world - in terms of wealth and symbolism - both historically and now.

    Alvin will look at the lengths people go to in the pursuit of gold and ask what is the true value of Au?

    A Just Radio production for Audible Originals.

Interesting... Very Interesting

Found something to latch on to and learn more about gold with every episode. Actually listened to the entire thing a couple times.

Interesting story but choppy recording

Hearing about gold was fascinating, but the recording broke up a lot and was frustrating to listen to.
