This much respected historian now writes a history of finance and shows that finance is the backbone of all history. A timely read as the world grapples at present with a deep financial crisis, not only is it lively and interesting but shows that history as usual repeats itself and that financial booms and busts are only to be expected but could also be avoided if those in power would listen to the warnings of the past.
