News and current affairs
One successful gold investor recently explained to me that stock prices languished for a more than a decade before the Dow Jones index crossed the 1,000 mark in the early 1980's.
Even the United States abrogated indexation clauses in bond contracts during the Great Depression of the 1930's.
Some have argued instead that gold's long upward march has been partly driven by the development of new financial instruments that make it easier to trade and speculate in gold.
In my view, the most powerful argument to justify today's high price of gold is the dramatic emergence of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East into the global economy.
So, yes, there are solid fundamentals that arguably support today's higher gold price, although it is far more debatable whether and to what extent they will continue to support higher prices in the future.
That is why the war's great hero, Winston Churchill, was voted out of office in the summer of 1945, even before Japan surrendered.
A different kind of revolution was taking place in Europe's former colonies in Asia, where native peoples had no desire to be ruled once more by Western powers, which had been so ignominiously defeated by Japan.
The rot began during the 1980s, under Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.
The extraordinary reception of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century shows how keenly the consequences of the collapse of the left have been felt.

Some of today's restrictions on habeas corpus and civil liberties have sunset clauses restricting their validity; all such rules should be re-examined by parliaments regularly.
Pakistan remains a sanctuary for Al Qaeda and some of the world's other most dangerous terrorists.
With mutual recognition, the EU and the US would accept each other's standards or conformity-assessment procedures, allowing firms to adhere to the less stringent requirements in each area.
Just last December, fellow economists Martin Feldstein and Nouriel Roubini each penned op-eds bravely questioning bullish market sentiment, sensibly pointing out gold's risks.
After adjusting for inflation, today's price is nowhere near the all-time high of January 1980.
Even the United States abrogated indexation clauses in bond contracts during the Great Depression of the 1930's. So it can happen anywhere.
But, despite gold's heightened allure in the wake of an extraordinary run-up in its price, it remains a very risky bet for most of us.
Yet, history is unfair, and the US, despite its greater responsibility for today's global crisis, may emerge in better shape than most countries from the morass.
With the euro looking less appetizing as a diversification play away from the dollar, gold's appeal has naturally grown.
In fact, excessively constraining rules of origin have proved problematic for some of the EU's previous recognition agreements, such as those governing professional-services standards.
The measure's second shortcoming, however, is that the spending reductions that it mandates are modest.
