Reviews

"With his wide-eyed scholarly enthusiasm, youthful good looks and penchant for world travel, Niall Ferguson is doing his best to become the Indiana Jones of economics." - Mary McNamara , LOS ANGELES TIMES

"...The Ascent of Money brilliantly displays Ferguson's nimble intellect, his ability to translate complex economic concepts to jargon-free prose, and his rejection of sound-bite history." - Glenn Garvin, THE MIAMI HEARLD
