Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A second-hand copy with no annotations no underlining. (It is actually a used copy that has been read!) Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and reproductions of artworks in the text, and a number of colour plates. The author reveals financial history as the essential back story behind all history. He explains why the origins of the French Revolution lie in a stock-market bubble caused by a convicted Scots murderer. He shows how financial failure turned Argentina from the world's 6th richest country into an inflation ridden basketcase  and how a financial revolution is propelling the world's most populous country from poverty to power.  Yet the most important lesson of financial history is that sooner or later every bubble bursts.  Paraphrasing the rear panel blurb Full number line.

The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World
Seller: Barclay Books, York, WA, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. 1108. 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. 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 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. First published 2008. 2008. A very good trade paperback copy with a previous owners details on the first page. Seller Inventory # 24465585
