hey everybody tom woods here episode 2758 we're here with the great Dominic Frisbee, who is the author, among other books, of a book that has just been released in the United States, just this very weak. Yet there's something a little bit odd about the book that I'm holding up here. I'll explain a minute. But it's the secret history of gold, myth, money, politics, and power. But I love the secret history of gold. But the odd thing is, here it is the United States, you know, and I'm a red-blooded American, as patriotic as the next guy, but I'm actually holding the English version, and Dominic is going to hold up for you the American version. There you go. That you will get in your shops, as somebody like Dominic would say.

0:54.8

Yeah. What would you say? The store. Yeah, you can get it at the store, right. You can get it at the store. I actually advised our publishers to go with black and gold. I think black and gold look very good together, but they went with white and gold, and the white and gold looks good as well, but both covers look very nice.

1:08.7

I think they're very sharp.

1:10.0

They're very sharp.

1:10.9

1:24.5

But this is what's great about

1:25.7

podcasting versus regular broadcasting.

1:28.9

You know, occasionally you are allowed

1:30.2

a mulligan on a day like, absolutely wild but this is what's great about podcasting versus regular broadcasting you know

1:29.0

occasionally you are allowed a mulligan on a day like today so anyway dumb see this is not the

1:34.6

book that some people expect that it's going to be and it would have been fine if it had been

1:38.4

that book it would have been fine if it had been a book about you know the relative merits of gold

1:42.8

as a money over the years,

1:44.2

and it's held its value, and it has stability, and there, and there is some of that. But this is

1:49.8

so much more than that. This is a story of gold as a substance, that it's, what you learn in

1:57.1

this book is not just that paper money has caused problems. I wouldn't say that's almost

2:02.8
