Can Gold Mining Be Monopolized
A discussion on the unlikely possibility of a world wide gold mining monopoly. It notes the vast number of small producers and the by product nature of much gold, plus ongoing discoveries making control impractical and difficult. It explains owner interests, minting as price floor, and the impossibility of cornering gold.
No motive to corner gold supply or mine control
The text argues cornering gold is impractical because coinage value remains a floor, world gold reserves deter hoarding, and demand for money keeps gold circulating. It notes a corner would cause a monetary stringency or famine, lowering value for hoarders, and that gold mines won’t be bought above value to remove competition.
