Read Polanyi for understanding differences between trade, money market, when suddenly appeared
Diego el Cigala on the screen, guest El Hormiguero. was a special interview for the special charism of the guest. Pablo Motos Then he "tempted" with a display of gold bars in various weights, to show the relationship of the Gypsies to the "noble" metal that Gadje us so difficult to understand, but so easy pejoratively judged on many occasions. "
