>>From my rough data, this ratio seemed to peak in 1950 at 0.81 ounces per person. The ratio has reached a plateau of 0.66 since about 1983. This is a very interesting study - maybe I'll pursue it more in depth.<<

Fascinating - it means that with all the expanded production and the fact that most mined gold remains available there isn't any more gold available per person than there ever was.
