 Article Headline: Beijing fuels old debate about gold's true value
 Abstract: In a musing about the value of gold, the late financier and adviser to US Presidents Bernard Baruch once opined that, when something holds good for 2 000 years, "I do not believe it can be so because of prejudice or mistaken theory." He also noted that gold had "worked down from Alexander's time". However, the value of gold is always a contested subject - a reality that became apparent again this week, when the Chinese government said that it was not going to dump the US dollar and go on a great golden shopping spree. The price of the yellow metal subsequently slipped below $1 200/oz, from over $1 265/oz just days before.
