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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

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

介绍了货币的产生,形成高利贷,转化为银行,发行国家债券到股票的过程,同时对通货膨胀也有一定的论述,对各种金融手段形成的背景作了一定的介绍,但这些手段如何具体的影响金融,对于一个金融外行的我还是不大容易理解,只能说对此书只是走马观花似的粗略一扫而过,还好书不...  

評分

原版的确实比较难啃,花了两个月时间才读完。好在回报不小: 对于一个许久以来困惑我的问题给了一点启示,问题是“为什么在政治经济危机爆发前的大多数人都没有意识到?” 现在我得到的一个可能答案是:大多数人缺乏危机意识,更别谈理性分析关键问题的能力了。针对这个我采...  

評分

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...  

評分

中文版这书翻译成货币崛起,太正式了。 灵机一动,觉得可以翻成《金钱往上爬》,呵呵! 个人觉得还是他的the war of the world与virtual history比较好。Niall Ferguson真算得上是精力旺盛的畅销书作家了!

看的第三本鳥叔。還是一如既往的流暢。

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。

這麼一本流水帳毫無原創觀點,作傢好意思稱自己是曆史學傢嗎
