The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World
Description:
Recommended by Kenneth S. Rogoff, Professor of Economics and Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics
Niall Ferguson weaves the development of debt and finance through history and people, from ancient Mesopotamia to the modern global financial bank. As entertaining and eloquent as it is insightful, Ferguson’s breadth of knowledge across disciplines is remarkable, and the writing has wit and humor that is often sorely lacking in this space.
