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.

評分金融入門非常棒。雖然花邊新聞多到離譜,本人明星化傾嚮嚴重,二手拼湊資料多,原創性少,但文筆確實好,讓人讀那麼悶的東西卻能保持興緻,真不簡單。基本概念和宏大曆史敘事均有兼顧,入門佳作。

評分對於我這樣一過麻瓜而言,此書真能讓人順藤摸瓜看到曆史演變。Ferguson文字的幽默也為此書錦上添花。

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...
評分1,银行(信用)起源发展——美第奇家族,苏格兰的催债,美国的破产法保障借贷权力。 2,债券的起源发展——起源意大利,罗斯柴尔德家族在滑铁卢之战为英军筹集黄金,美国内战的南方“棉花债券”,债券与通胀的矛盾 3,股市泡沫——荷兰起源,密西西比泡沫,安然的庞氏骗局 4,...
評分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)...
評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
評分一遍已经翻完了。 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...
