Niall Ferguson
Niall Ferguson reveals financial history as the essential backstory behind all history, explaining how the evolution of credit and debt was as important as any technological innovation in the rise of civilization.

Yet the most important lesson of the financial history is that sooner or later every bubble bursts.
