Synopsis
Money is the root of all history--or so argues historian Niall Ferguson in his one volume world history, THE ASCENT OF MONEY. Ferguson presents a popular account of the globalized economy that has grown to dominate our age and which has fueled wars, revolutions, and "economic progress." Ferguson traces the origin of money back to the ancient Mesopotamians and reveals the economic back-story to a range of historical events. His mastery of the complicated structure of international finance and markets becomes evident in his handling of more recent history such as the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Industry Reviews
"[A] magnificently entertaining and provocative new book....The origins of the book as a television series are apparent. The rapid shift of perspective is great fun, though an academic would say that it would be helpful to have a systematic exploration of the thesis of financial evolution. That would lead to the loss of some of the verve and vim with which the tale of financial genius and financial folly and skullduggery are interwoven."
