The labor theory of value, give it some thought. This is a very moral movie, and one of the best to come out of America, Hollywood even! We procduce tons of facile crap, but this is a nugget in the rough.
Brijeshjanardhanan, I absolutely agree with you on that one. One of those rare nuggests (pun included) that have great value! Good advice to all Speculators Traders or Investors down to lottery winners lol.
gold itself is worthless only the labor to get it into coinage is where the value is. And of course the demand but in the beginning the price is set by the labor.
@anyname666 Wrong. Gold is an incredibly valuable commodity and industrial metal. Let me give you an example. How much does a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II cost? According to Wiki it's between US$89 million and US$200 million. Guess what metal is used all over the avionics of that plane? You guessed it, Sparky: gold. Gold is used in electronics, computers, jewelry, dentistry, the medical field, glass making, aerospace. Without gold, electronics companies would be shut down.
The majority of Gold is used for visual enhancement~decoration & little electrical. Because gold is so well praised, calibrated & sought after for jewelry it is accepted along with many other things as a medium of exchange & currency. Other attempts at festoonery are seen in Architecture, dental, & gilding. Gold is not the best conductor but is almost immune to oxidation so it is good for computers, aerospace, & etc. Medical, glass making & the rest are not worth mentioning.
Missed hearing from you. I forgot to ask you if you knew that stainless steel dry wall screws are extremely valuable. Yep they are. They are used in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
And we all know how much one of those cost. So that proves that dry wall screws are very valuable. In fact, leather, copper wire, plastic wire insulation, carbon fiber, Plexiglas, aluminum, & rubber just to mention a few are also very valuable as they are used in the F-35.
This movie gets my vote for the best movie ever made and John Houston Sr's discourse on prospecting is as fine an example of acting as you will ever see. I think it qualifies for best for several reasons. Best choice of actors and best acting. Best haircut. Best fight scene. Best story and dialouge. Best Mexican bandido. Best (inadvertent) summation of Adam Smith's " Wealth of Nations ". I think Tim Holt got short shrift for one of the great displays of acting in this movie. .
@stoufferd2 Money is important but you only need some of it for survival in the civilized world. The point of this video is when you have "excess" money and you keep wanting more excess until it becomes a mental disease, this results in negative consequences.
