How Much Work for 1 Ounce of Gold? 2,000 Years in One Video

Описание: Gold doesn’t change. What changes is how much work you need to do to earn it.
2,000 years ago, a Roman centurion could earn about one ounce of gold in roughly a month.
In 1971, an American officer could earn one ounce of gold in about 2 days.
Today, the same one ounce can cost 2–3 weeks of work.
In this video, we look at 2,000 years of history through a single unit:
one ounce of gold ounce.
