Gold And Revolution

From boom to bust, the impact of the shifting tides of the commodity cycle leaves an impression on almost everyone. The future prosperity of national economies, businesses and school-leavers alike are dictated by their position within the commodity wheel. The shifting eddies of this cyclical pattern exercise an underestimated and not entirely understood tow on the orbit of history, a distant drummer influencing the march of events, while remaining unseen. On rare occasions, the dial is reset on this great cycle in the sky, with profound consequences. When age of abundance lurches into one of scarcity, the dominant players of the preceding era often fail to find their feet in the changed landscape, whereas the laggards of the last era sometime become the leaders in the new. This aim of this site is to identify the wellspring from which great booms over history have sprung.
