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.

The book has a twin UK documentary series called "Ascent of Money". Later, PBS produced a shortened version of the documentary that can be access online for free. (The link is at the bottom of this page.) Both films are very illuminating and educational, th...

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)...

184页说日本农业人口70%”总共的土地占有量仅有1.5公顷”,这怎么可能。翻原文205页:of whom 70 percent tilled an average of just one and a half acres.错地也太离谱了。 还有226页“这成了内战时期黑人争取的在财政方面的隐性权利”原文250面:This was the hidden finan...

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...

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...

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。
