520    How silver influenced two hundred years of world history, 
       and why it matters today. This is the story of silver's 
       transformation from soft money during the nineteenth 
       century to hard asset today, and how manipulations of the 
       white metal by American president Franklin D. Roosevelt 
       during the 1930s and by the richest man in the world, 
       Texas oil baron Nelson Bunker Hunt, during the 1970s 
       altered the course of American and world history. FDR 
       pumped up the price of silver to help jump start the US 
       economy during the Great Depression, but this move 
       weakened China, which was then on the silver standard, and
       facilitated Japan's rise to power before World War II. 
       Bunker Hunt went on a silver-buying spree during the 1970s
       to protect himself against inflation and triggered a 
       financial crisis that left him bankrupt. Silver has been 
       the preferred shelter against government defaults, 
       political instability, and inflation for most people in 
       the world because it is cheaper than gold. The white metal
       has been the place to hide when conventional investments 
       sour, but it has also seduced sophisticated investors 
       throughout the ages like a siren. This book explains how 
       powerful figures, up to and including Warren Buffett, have
       come under silver's thrall, and how its history guides 
       economic and political decisions in the twenty-first 
       century.
