¡@Description
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.
