| Sumario: | "In Gold We Trust is a historical and sociological account of how, by the late 1960s, three small Italian towns had come to lead the world in the production of gold jewelry - even though they had virtually no jewelry industry less than a century before, and even though Italy had western Europe's most restrictive gold laws.
