Description

The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World by Niall Ferguson The story of money is the story of history. From the banking dynasties that funded the Italian Renaissance to the stock market bubbles that shaped the course of revolutions, financial history is a tale of booms and busts that underpins all of human endeavour. In this book, Niall Ferguson explores the fascinating and often surprising history of money, revealing how it has shaped the world we live in today. With a keen eye for detail and a masterful narrative style, Ferguson brings to life the tales of triumph and disaster, of innovation and collapse, that have defined the ascent and descent of money. A beautifully written and engaging account, The Ascent of Money is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of finance and its impact on the world.
