In "The Ascent of Money," Niall Ferguson explores the evolution of finance from its roots in ancient Mesopotamia to contemporary upheavals, illuminating how financial history shapes human progress. He compellingly connects major historical events—like the Renaissance, the rise of the Dutch republic, and the French Revolution—with financial elements, revealing how banking innovations and market dynamics influenced broader social and political transformations.
