Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance .

Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, its the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, its the chains of labor. But in The Ascent of Money , Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress. Whats more, he reveals financial history as the essential backstory behind all history.

Through Fergusons expert lens familiar historical landmarks appear in a new and sharper financial focus. Suddenly, the civilization of the Renaissance looks very different: a boom in the market for art and architecture made possible when Italian bankers adopted Arabic mathematics. The rise of the Dutch republic is reinterpreted as the triumph of the worlds first modern bond market over insolvent Habsburg absolutism. And the origins of the French Revolution are traced back to a stock market bubble caused by a convicted Scot murderer.

With the clarity and verve for which he is known, Ferguson elucidates key financial institutions and concepts by showing where they came from. What is money? What do banks do? Whats the difference between a stock and a bond? Why buy insurance or real estate? And what exactly does a hedge fund do?

This is history for the present. Ferguson travels to post-Katrina New Orleans to ask why the free market cant provide adequate protection against catastrophe. He delves into the origins of the subprime mortgage crisis.

Perhaps most important, The Ascent of Money documents how a new financial revolution is propelling the worlds biggest countries, India and China, from poverty to wealth in the space of a single generationan economic transformation unprecedented in human history.

Yet the central lesson of the financial history is that sooner or later every bubble burstssooner or later the bearish sellers outnumber the bullish buyers, sooner or later greed flips into fear. And thats why, whether youre scraping by or rolling in it, theres never been a better time to understand the ascent of money.

The book has a twin UK documentary series called "Ascent of Money". Later, PBS produced a shortened version of the documentary that can be accessed online for free. Both films are very illuminating and educational, thus I felt compelled by curiosity to read...

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...

读的英文版,当个小说来读普及一下知识还可以,但要想从中提纯出思想性的东西,实话讲还是蛮少的。 一是太大而散,涉及了货币,债券,股票,房产,等等。但每一个部分只是讲了一些小故事,并没有什么中心主旨存在。 二是故事引用失当,很多小故事不明白他为什么要花篇幅去引...

評分

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....

很好的書,以前自己讀曆史的 時候就怎麼也不明白為什麼法國大革命就那麼爆發瞭,和股票,保險的起源,這本書解決瞭我很久的睏惑

评分

作者喜歡講故事,可惜似乎技術層麵的乾貨以及深入的分析很不夠,最後竟然扯上瞭進化的概念……應該屬於學術能力不強,但溝通能力還蠻強的典型吧……
