  • Discounting Gold: Money and Banking in Gold Rush California
    Case Study #22 April 2021 Discounting gold: Money and banking in Gold Rush California Introduction Two momentous events early in 1848 completely and abruptly transformed California. On 24 January, James Marshall found gold in a millrace he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, on the South Fork of the American River. Nine days later, on 2 February, the United States and Mexico concluded the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending nearly two years of hostilities. Under the Treaty, Mexico ceded much of the present south-western United States to the US for monetary consideration. An American occupation government had ruled most of California since mid-1846, but neither the American military governor nor the earlier Mexican governors had held firm political control over the remote, sparsely populated territory.1 Now, the problem was fully in the hands of the Americans. The discovery of gold and the change in sovereignty presented both opportunity and risk. Many in California abandoned other occupations to try their luck in the new ‘diggings’2 in the foothills of Sierra Nevada. The risk was that California might fall prey to the ‘resource curse’ – that the discovery of mineral riches might divert labour and attract outside exploitation and corruption, thus impoverishing the Figure 1.

Much recent scholarship on the resource curse draws on a 1995 paper by Jeffrey Sachs and Andrew Warner.3 Although they did not use the term ‘resource curse’, they described, and they and their successors have sought to explain, an empirical pattern which suggests that countries rich in natural resources seem prone to sub-par economic growth.

Last spring, I had the opportunity to in- terview one of the New Cosmos newest play- ers, Mads Stokkelien, from Kristiansand, Norway. The New Cosmos has risen from the ashes of the original Cosmos team that dissolved almost 30 years ago. This is no small feat. The original team was owned by Warner Communications, a business flush with cash that hand picked the best players from around the world, boasting Pele, Beckenbauer, and Chinaglia. The team was also instrumental in popularizing the world’s most favored sport—outside of the U.S., that is—into a respectable sport inside the U.S. However, for a variety of reasons the Cosmos could not endure, and the team folded in 1985. The team was reborn two years ago as part of the New North American Soccer League. Hofstra University’s Shuart Sta- dium has replaced Giant Stadium. Last year was their first season and they played mag- nificently, winning the 2013 Soccer Bowl. Mads is from Kristiansand, where he played soccer for the local team. At 21 he moved to Oslo to play for Stabæk.
