Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the social impact of the dwindling value of gold following the discovery of gold reserves in California in the 1840s and 1850s. As the value of gold fell by nearly 15%, it significantly affected the prices of everyday goods, causing a rise in the cost of living and widening the gap between the rich and the poor. The author's meticulous research uses a wide range of sources, including monthly price tables, to reveal how this devaluation of gold disrupted the stability of economies and influenced social dynamics.
