"There is a nearly universal curiosity about gold -- its history, uses, and significance in human affairs. In this highly readable and most informative book, an eminent Soviet economist exames the development and the modern problems of gold as a monetary metal, and the real essence of the gold standard. Prof. Anikin's study makes clear the role of gold in the evolution and crisis of the capitalist international monetary system. He predicts that gold has more surprises in store." from the dust jacket.
