In this episode of Talk Money To Me, Candice and Felicity sit down with acclaimed historian, author, broadcaster, and the brilliant mind behind the new book Gold - Professor Alan Ereira.  

In his latest work, 'Gold: How it Shaped History', which Candice and Felicity discuss in this episode, Alan explores the powerful and often surprising role this precious metal has played in the rise and fall of empires, economies, and belief systems.
