Věž a náměstí
ISBN: 9788025730478 / Czeski / 2019 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Britský historik Niall Ferguson, autor řady vysoce oceňovaných publikací (naposledy např. Civilizace), ve své nové práci analyzuje podoby mocenského vlivu. Jednu – vertilkální, hierarchickou – charakterizuje metafora věže; druhou – horizontální, založenou na síti vztahů – zase obraz náměstí. Autor zkoumá jejich historický vývoj i koexistenci. V historických knihách je patrnější ona vertikální struktura, na jejímž vrcholu stáli králové a papežové, ale to neznamená, že by horizontální sítě společenských vztahů byly záležitostí moderní...

Vzestup peněz
ISBN: 9788025703373 / Czeski / 2011 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Britský historik Niall Ferguson (*1964) je profesorem na Harvardově univerzitě. Většina jeho prací, jež v západní Evropě vzbudily nebývalý zájem, je věnována hospodářským a sociálním dějinám 19. a 20. století. Největší pozornost prozatím vzbudila jeho kniha o příčinách první světové války (Nešťastná válka). V ní přišel s kacířskou tezí, že mocensko-politické vztahy v roce 1914 neeskalovaly kvůli německé agresivní, velmocenské politice, nýbrž kvůli nekompromisním postojům Velké Británie.

Britské impérium
ISBN: 9788025739501 / Czeski / 2022 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ferguson líčí historii Britského impéria od 16. do 21. století. Impérium, které v době svého vrcholu ovládalo čtvrtinu světové populace, čtvrtinu zemského povrchu a téměř všechny oceány, se příznivě podepsalo na vývoji Spojených států a Kanady, Indie, Afriky, Austrálie, Nového Zélandu, východní Asie a Číny. Podle Fergusona impérium neožebračovalo národy, které se ocitly pod jeho nadvládou, ale naopak zajišťovalo jejich ekonomický blahobyt tím, že díky této nadvládě byly tyto země politicky stabilní. Idea svobody odlišovala impérium...

The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die
ISBN: 9780141975238 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The decline of the West is something that has long been prophesied. Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, aging populations. But what exactly is amiss with Western civilization? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, is that our institutions - the intricate frameworks within which a society can flourish or fail - are degenerating. In this book, Ferguson provides a powerful indictment of an era of negligence and complacency.

Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power
ISBN: 9780465023295 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The British Empire was the largest in all history: the nearest thing to world domination ever achieved. By the eve of World War II, around a quarter of the world's land surface was under some form of British rule. Yet for today's generation, the British Empire seems a Victorian irrelevance. The time is ripe for a reappraisal, and in Empire, Niall Ferguson boldly recasts the British Empire as one of the world's greatest modernizing forces.An important new work of synthesis and revision, Empire argues that the world we know today is in large measure the product of Britain's Age of...

Paper and Iron: Hamburg Business and German Politics in the Era of Inflation, 1897-1927
ISBN: 9780521470162 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 556 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Few economic events have had the impact of German hyperinflation in 1923, still remembered as a root cause of Hitler's rise to power; yet in recent years historians have defended the inflationary policies adopted after 1918. Niall Ferguson takes a different view. He argues that inflation was an economic and political disaster, and that alternative economic policies could have stabilized the German currency in 1920. To explain why these were not adopted, he points to long-term defects in the political institutions of the Reich from the 1890s. The book therefore not only reveals the Wilhelmine...

ISBN: 9780141984810 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Throughout history our societies have worked through networks and Ferguson's new book is a history of this remarkable aspect of human existence, from the networks that first allowed us to explore the oceans to today's hyper-linked world. He argues that networks have always been with us. Hierarchies rule, but networks innovate and make it possible that revolutionary ideas can contagiously spread.
