作者喜欢讲故事,可惜似乎技术层面的干货以及深入的分析很不够,最后竟然扯上了进化的概念……应该属于学术能力不强,但沟通能力还蛮强的典型吧……
评分太散了 而且没什么新东西
评分故事讲的好,道理就懂了
评分系统的看看问题很有帮助,很多有趣的故事和观点。但是按钱穆的观点,就是此书缺乏史识,只叙述不分析。而叙述也有点乱,可能因为本来就是电视剧的脚本,外加规模太过宏大,想说的问题太多。比如说概率那段,Bernstein写了300多页,他写了3页(在所难免)。另外作者替殖民主义说话这点看着有点不舒服,不过这个属于个人喜好,和书无关。总而言之,还是很寓教于乐、文笔流畅的。
评分I think one needs more than one read to fully comprehend this book.

Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance .
Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, its the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, its the chains of labor. But in The Ascent of Money , Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress. Whats more, he reveals financial history as the essential backstory behind all history.
Through Fergusons expert lens familiar historical landmarks appear in a new and sharper financial focus. Suddenly, the civilization of the Renaissance looks very different: a boom in the market for art and architecture made possible when Italian bankers adopted Arabic mathematics. The rise of the Dutch republic is reinterpreted as the triumph of the worlds first modern bond market over insolvent Habsburg absolutism. And the origins of the French Revolution are traced back to a stock market bubble caused by a convicted Scot murderer.
With the clarity and verve for which he is known, Ferguson elucidates key financial institutions and concepts by showing where they came from. What is money? What do banks do? Whats the difference between a stock and a bond? Why buy insurance or real estate? And what exactly does a hedge fund do?
This is history for the present. Ferguson travels to post-Katrina New Orleans to ask why the free market cant provide adequate protection against catastrophe. He delves into the origins of the subprime mortgage crisis.
Perhaps most important, The Ascent of Money documents how a new financial revolution is propelling the worlds biggest countries, India and China, from poverty to wealth in the space of a single generationan economic transformation unprecedented in human history.
Yet the central lesson of the financial history is that sooner or later every bubble burstssooner or later the bearish sellers outnumber the bullish buyers, sooner or later greed flips into fear. And thats why, whether youre scraping by or rolling in it, theres never been a better time to understand the ascent of money.
翻译极为糟糕,译者不仅缺乏金融知识而且英语水平有限。在讲故事的部分译文还是可以看懂的,但是一旦遇到金融操作之类的细节这种读者最关注的部分,译者根本无法理解原文,更不要说作一个可读的翻译。所以如果你看这本书时觉得云里雾里,实在是正常的结果,大不必自卑觉得自己...
评分本书翻译真的蛮差的。 由人人影视翻译的英国记录片,不得不承认,人人影视的翻译水准高于本书译者,因此结合起来看看蛮有帮助。 具体问题可以看看第一篇评论。这本书真的蛮贵啊。 http://www.yyets.com/resource/10911
评分 评分英文原版不错,虽然表达不一定太好理解,词汇量大,但内容很好,值得多花一点时间理解和琢磨。不过作者行文感觉有点儿散,想讲到blowing bubble的时候,开始说了John Law其人,但后来就引申到Dutch bank model方面的内容,后来又兜回来说John Law在Regent的帮助下推动了Banque ...
评分叙述风格和价值起源差不多,但比不上价值起源。 浅出有余,深入不足。 学术厚度不够。 字数不足 字数不足 字数不足 字数不足 字数不足 字数不足 字数不足 字数不足
