Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it’s the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it’s the chains of labour. But in The Ascent of Money, Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress. What’s more, he reveals financial history as the essential back-story behind all history.

The Ascent of Money charts the evolution of credit and debt as important as any technological innovation in the rise of civilization, from ancient Babylon to the silver mines of Bolivia. Banks provided the material basis for the splendours of the Italian Renaissance, while the bond market was the decisive factor in conflicts from the Seven Years’ War to the American Civil War.

With the clarity and verve for which he is famed, Niall Ferguson explains why the origins of the French Revolution lie in a stock market bubble caused by a convicted Scots murderer. He shows in The Ascent of Money how financial failure turned Argentina from the world’s sixth richest country into an inflation-ridden basket case – and how a financial revolution is propelling the world’s most populous country from poverty to power in a single generation.

Yet the most important lesson of the financial history is that sooner or later every bubble bursts – sooner or later the bearish sellers outnumber the bullish buyers – sooner or later greed flips into fear. And that’s why, whether you’re scraping by or rolling in it, there’s never been a better time to understand the ascent of money.

Niall Ferguson talks about The War of the World, his previous book, here.

这本书里看到了很多人名, 1、美第奇家族居然是西西里黑帮企业的鼻祖,但是美第奇家族没有采用发明与意大利的复式记账法。第一套银行系统是发源于还未统一的意大利。 2、作者很尊重《货币战争》作者宋鸿兵,只是说罗斯柴尔德的神话仍在流传,宋就是一个流传作者(不考虑抄袭)...

一遍已经翻完了。 douban 里看到一些差评,理解很多书被一些非常不专业的英语专业的学生搞坏了。当时这本书还值得一读 *这本书有点集大成者的风范,它告诉你一些历史,作者的解读只是一种引导,你完全可以有自己的理解。  *如果你不是看趣闻轶事一样的看这本...

The book has a twin UK documentary series called "Ascent of Money". Later, PBS produced a shortened version of the documentary that can be accessed online for free. Both films are very illuminating and educational, thus I felt compelled by curiosity to read...

It is true that the book is quite easy to understand. If one hasn't learn financial history, this book can give one some insights into it. The book is written in a fair logic while I don't think it presents higher understanding about real financial issues....
