Gold, hard money, and financial gurus
Gold is one of the world's oldest and most stable repositories of wealth. For centuries, it was the basis of monetary systems; today, those who advocate a monetary gold standard (or gold investments as a way to protect assests from inflation) are often known as "gold bugs." Many gold bugs are deeply suspicious about government control of money; they note that governments can create spending or cause inflation, but they cannot create gold at will. Freely circulating gold is thus a check on monetary authorities - and this creates intense controversies about the monetary role of gold and its relationship to political and economic power. Financial writers and gurus is the story of the alternative financial press, with some thoughts and guidelines about what to expect form a newsletter advisor, how to separate the wheat from the overabundant chaff - and how to find the right advisor for you.

- "For centuries, gold has been considered a safe haven: it is tangible, unlike an account balance, and its value is relatively stable, especially as a hedge against inflation. To what degree should investors seek security in gold, or in other kinds of hard money? In the second part of this presentation we discuss the financial writers and gurus whose analysis and comments reflect, and sometimes influence, the world of finance and economics."@en
