Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The New Gold Rush has been written for US citizens and others who are concerned by the possibility that rapidly increasing Federal spending ( now 41% of US GDP) might bring down the US dollar and their savings with it. The Federal government has been spending massive amounts of US dollars on bank bailouts, the economic stimulus program, and the high cost of two ongoing wars. In addition to increased deficit spending by the government in Washington, the United States currently has large negative trade balance with other countries. An idea of the size of the trade deficit is given by the fact that the United States is currently in debt to China for more than $2Trillon and owes almost the same amount of money to Japan. Should either country begin to sell off the Treasury Bonds they are holding the US dollar would collapse overnight. These threats to the US dollar, in the context of an industrial slowdown and the off shoring of basic industrial production, could eventually overburden the national budget and lead to an inflation that could be both massive and quick. Because rapid inflation would impose serious losses on dollar-denominated investments and savings, many Americans have been thinking about buying gold as an intelligent form of economic self-protection. The New Gold Rush combines a historical explanation of the relationship between gold and money with five practical chapters devoted to a detailed and careful explanation of gold markets actually work showing how the long term investor (gold coins), the medium term investor (gold mining stocks) and the speculative investor (commodity futures in gold) can operate in these markets. The author, Jon Amsden, holds the PhD from the London School of Economics and has followed financial markets both as investor and analyst for many years.

'This book, beginning with a brief history of the labour movement in Spain, examines the introduction of American style collective bargaining contracts into a system of industrial relations derived from the fascist origins of the Franco regime. Undertaken as part of a programme to liberalise' Spanish political institutions, the introduction of methods of wage determination developed in the pluralistic societies had important consequences for the official and unofficial labour movements alike. These two aspects of the industrial relations system merged in the operation of the factory committees as jurados de empresa, also introduced by law (for factories having more than a certain number of employees) at an earlier period. The analysis of this body is set in a comparative theoretical context, and illustrated with a case study made by the author while working in a Spanish factory. This study of collective bargaining in a single firm is followed by a more general treatment of the development of collective bargaining and of its opposite-compulsory arbitration. It is in the latter phenomenon that the author sees the development of a counter-strategy to collective bargaining for a large and important part of the work-force. In this book the author presents an analysis of labour organisations and industrial conflict in Spain during the period of partial liberalisation (1961-68) and relaxation of political controls; and in providing the reader with the first case study of a Spanish firm, he makes a unique contribution to the study of labour organisation.'
