One Nation Under Gold: How One Precious Metal Has Dominated the American Imagination for Four Centuries

Divided. I learned more about gold than I ever wanted to know when I read James Ledbetter’s book titled, One Nation Under Gold: How One Precious Metal Has Dominated the American Imagination for Four Centuries. If you’ve heard about the gold standard, and wonder what that is all about, you’ll learn about that and more in this book. There’s been a strong interest in gold throughout history, our American experience with gold has been fascinating, and Ledbetter tells that story in this book. We are as divided about gold as we are on many other issues, and Ledbetter highlights that part of the story as well, both past and present divisions.
