Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The response from the jewelry industry to a campaign for ethically sourced gold as a case study in the power of business in global environmental politics. Gold mining can be a dirty business. It creates immense amounts of toxic materials that are difficult to dispose of. Mines are often developed without community consent, and working conditions for miners can be poor. Income from gold has funded wars. And consumers buy wedding rings and gold chains not knowing about any of this. In Dirty Gold, Michael Bloomfield shows what happened when Earthworks, a small Washington-based NGO, launched a campaign for ethically sourced gold in the consumer jewelry market, targeting Tiffany and other major firms. The unfolding of the campaign and its effect on the jewelry industry offer a lesson in the growing influence of business in global environmental politics. Earthworks planned a “shame” campaign, aimed at the companies' brands and reputations, betting that firms like Tiffany would not want to be associated with pollution, violence, and exploitation. As it happened, Tiffany contacted Earthworks before they could launch the campaign; the company was already looking for partners in finding ethically sourced gold. Bloomfield examines the responses of three companies to “No Dirty Gold” activism: Tiffany, Wal-Mart, and Brilliant Earth, a small company selling ethical jewelry. He finds they offer a case study in how firms respond to activist pressure and what happens when businesses participate in such private governance schemes as the “Golden Rules” and the “Conflict-Free Gold Standard.” Taking a firm-level view, Bloomfield examines the different opportunities for and constraints on corporate political mobilization within the industry.

Excerpt from The Influence of the Gold Supply on Prices and Profits I also propose to call attention to the great economic influence exercised by a general Rise in Prices due to an increase in the Quantity of Money, and by a general Fall in Prices due to the opposite cause. This influence is so pro found and far-reaching that it often leads to important social and political changes.

Excerpt from Our Gold Supply: Its Effects on Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries The question Of Our Gold Supply is one that does not, I think, require any apology for its introduction. To all sections of the civilized world it is a matter of paramount importance. As the supply of gold can only be maintained or increased but from one source, that is, gold mining; the remarks I have made, being the result of careful consideration of the subject and a long practical experience of gold mining on some Of the chief gold fields Of the world, will, I trust, be the means Of creating a little more interest in the development Of an industry which SO materially affects Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries. The marvellous advancement of the world's progress in one generation will for ever mark a most important epoch of history - for never again is it likely that any great discoveries of gold will create the wide-spread thrill Of excitement and that spirit Of adventure which were created by the gold discoveries in California and Australia. The magic words Gold l Gold! Were heard on every Side, and Off for the Gold Diggings became at once the hope and determination of many thousands of the most enterprizing young men of the day, who soon congregated on the world famed Eldorados. The word Eureka was echoed from hills and valleys where the rich deposits of the precious metal had been found. The discoveries Of gold gave a vast stimulus to Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries in England. Vessels were freighted from every port with merchandise and passengers to the land of gold - the gold fever permeated all ranks and classes of society, and as vessels returned from the Shores of California and Australia, freighted with large quantities of gold and wealth-laden adventurers, the rage for emigration was kept up, and a stream of living humanity was poured in upon the golden Shores of countries destined to be populated by millions, where had previously reigned almost Silent solitude. The wonderful changes that I have witnessed in the features of countries, converted, as by a magician's wand, from dreary, open dry plains, the solitude of sweet-scented fertile valleys, or the stillness of densely-timbered forests, into thriving cities, towns and settlements through the all-powerful influence of gold, have induced me to give some attention to the subject, and In, what I am aware is but an imperfect way, to endeavour to draw public interest to the question of Our Gold Supply and Its effects on Finance, Trade, Commerce and Industries.
