Paper and Iron: Hamburg Business and German Politics in the Era of Inflation, 1897-1927
ISBN: 9780521894227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 556 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

The Cash Nexus: Money and Politics in Modern History, 1700-2000
ISBN: 9780140293333 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Modern history shows that a nation's success largely depends on the way it manages its money. In times of war, finance has been just as crucial to victory as firepower. But where do money and politics meet? Starting in 1700 and ending at the present day, Niall Ferguson offers a bold and dazzling analysis of the evolution of today's economic and political landscape. Far from being driven by the profit motive alone, out recent history, as Ferguson makes clear, has also been made by potent and often conflicting human impulses - sex, violence and the desire for power.

The Cash Nexus
ISBN: 9780465023264 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom has long claimed that economic change is the prime mover of political change, whether in the age of industry or Internet. But is it? Ferguson thinks it is high time we re-examined the link-the nexus, in Thomas Carlyle's phrase-between economics and politics. His central argument is that the conflicting impulses of sex, violence, and power are together more powerful than money. Among Ferguson's startling claims are: - Nothing has done more to transform the world economy than war, yet wars themselves do not have primarily economic causes. - The present age of economic...

Stone Ledger
ISBN: 9783565259113 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Centuries before blockchain, the people of Yap in Micronesia solved the problem of money in a genius way. They used "Rai stones"-limestone discs up to twelve feet wide. They were too heavy to move, so ownership was simply agreed upon by the community. One famous stone sank to the bottom of the ocean during transport, yet everyone agreed it still existed and could still be spent."The Stone Ledger" uses this fascinating anthropological case to deconstruct what money actually is: a system of trust and information, not physical value. It draws a direct line from the stone money of Yap to the...

The Pity of War: Explaining World War I (Revised)
ISBN: 9780465057122 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Pity of War, Niall Ferguson makes a simple and provocative argument: that the human atrocity known as the Great War was entirely England's fault. Britain, according to Ferguson, entered into war based on naive assumptions of German aims--and England's entry into the war transformed a Continental conflict into a world war, which they then badly mishandled, necessitating American involvement. The war was not inevitable, Ferguson argues, but rather the result of the mistaken decisions of individuals who would later claim to have been in the grip of huge impersonal forces.That the...

ISBN: 9780141975238 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 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.
