What Makes Something Valuable? (Part One)

With gold and silver skyrocketing, and natural diamond prices plummeting, a question arises: What makes something valuable? To find the answer, we tell the story of De Beers — the multinational diamond company that built the most successful monopoly in modern history. Along the way, we speak with Kevin DeMeritt, founder of Lear Capital, one of America’s largest precious-metals firms. What we uncover is striking: many of the things humanity has prized were never inherently valuable at all — their value was manufactured. Presented by The Licorice Guy.
