World Gold Production in the Last Days

FROM 1492 to 1850—three hundred and fifty-nine years—the world’s production of gold was about three and one-eighth billions of dollars ($3,129,720,000). From 1851-99—forty-nine years—it was six and two-thirds billions of dollars ($6,665,631,000). In other words, in the last fifty years the world’s production of gold has been more than twice as much as it was in the preceding three hundred and fifty years. This shows how it is that the rich men can heap treasure together for the last days.
