Gold and silver
This course looks at gold, silver, platinum and palladium: what each one is, where its demand comes from, and how each behaves differently. It covers gold's slow-growing above-ground supply, silver's two roles as money and as an industrial metal, and the gold-to-silver ratio. By the end the reader can explain what separates a monetary metal from an industrial one.
