‘A timely update of Roy Jastram’s 1977 book, The Golden Constant, with updated material from Jill Leyland, latterly of the Gold Council, provides a fascinating insight into the price and purchasing power of gold over the past close to 450 years. . . Jill Leyland has done sterling work in expanding the geographical coverage to France, Germany, Japan and Switzerland, as well as bringing the book up-to-date.’
– Gabriel Stein, The Business Economist
