«El oro: historia de una obsesión» is the essay on economic and cultural history by Peter L. Bernstein, published by Ediciones B in hardback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Bernstein traces the role of gold in human history: from its magical, religious and artistic uses to the invention of coinage, the conversion of gold into money and the gold standard. The narrative weaves together myths, explorations, power struggles and the relationship between the metal and the economy.
This edition corresponds to the Spanish translation (original title: «The Power of Gold: The History of an Obsession»).
Recommended for readers of economic and cultural history interested in how gold has shaped wealth and power.
Peter Lewyn Bernstein was an American financial historian, economist and educator whose evangelizing of the efficient-market hypothesis to the public made him one of the country's best known popularizers of academic finance.
