Gold Flood poses questions about systems of value by way of this mysterious metal for which we work, fight, cry, toil, and sacrifice. “By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are abused; the law itself is influenced by gold, and soon there will be an end of every modest restraint.” - Sextus Propertius
(50-16 B.C.)
