THE ASCENT OF MONEY - NIALL FERGUSON KARTONIERT...

Bread  cash  dosh  dough  loot. Call if what you like  it matters now more than ever. In The
Ascent of Money  Niall Ferguson shows that financial history is the back-story to all history.
From the banking dynasty who funded the Italian Renaissance to the stock market bubble that
caused the French Revolution  this is the story of booms and busts as it's never been told
before. With the world in the grip of the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression 
there's never been a better time to understand the ascent - and descent - of money.
'Beautifully written ... Breathtakingly clever' Sunday Telegraph 'A lucid and racy account of
financial history' New Statesman 'A fine  readable and entertaining history' Dominic Sandbrook
Daily Telegraph  Books of the Year 'The tales he tells of boom and bust  of triumph and
disaster  of bubbles that inflate ... are the very essence of financial history' Bill Emmott 
Financial Times 'An often enlightening and enjoyable tour through the underside of great events
a lesson in how the most successful great powers have always been underpinned by smart money'
Robert Skidelsky  New York Review of Books
