A richly original look at the origins of money and how it makes the
world go ?round
Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the
evolution of our financial system, from its genesis in ancient
Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet
Finance. What's more, Ferguson reveals financial history as the
essential backstory behind all history, arguing that the evolution
of credit and debt was as important as any technological innovation
in the rise of civilization. As Ferguson traces the crisis from
ancient Egypt's Memphis to today's Chongqing, he offers bold and
compelling new insights into the rise? and fall?of not just money
but Western power as well.
