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.

读后感

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....

这是一本很成功的金融史教科书。各章依次介绍了银行、债券、股票、保险、房地产和跨国金融的发展历史。你会详细了解西班牙王室如何因白银而兴,又如何因白银而败;美地奇家族如何由银行业被推向巅峰;罗斯柴尔德如何从国债市场上掘去了金融帝国的第一桶金;对比世界上第一次股...

作者挑选了自己觉得重要的事件,按话题来组织内容,分五章分别讨论了信用,债券,泡沫,住房,风险和Chimerica。本书并不是一般意义上系统的历史记录,所以副标题A Financial History of the World有些过大。前两章的很多材料都算得上是“新闻”,符合我对历史书的期待;后四章...

看到好多人对翻译问题横加指责。我觉得有失公允 确实有漏译和翻译的错误 但是本书翻译的亮点也有不少, 比如p163,“弱不禁火”翻译的就很好,原文为vulnable to fire,至少我觉得翻译的非常到位。 书没什么好评价的。只想说说本书主题之外的东西。 1850年德国就有了福利国家...

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)...

金融入门非常棒。虽然花边新闻多到离谱,本人明星化倾向严重,二手拼凑资料多,原创性少,但文笔确实好,让人读那么闷的东西却能保持兴致,真不简单。基本概念和宏大历史叙事均有兼顾,入门佳作。
