Jeden z najsłynniejszych historyków na świecie, udowadnia że za każdym wydarzeniem historycznym stoi tajemnica zawiązana z pieniędzmi.Ferguson udowadnia, że ewolucja systemów finansowych jest równie istotna jak wynalazki czy rozwój wielkich cywilizacji. To dzięki bankom renesans we Włoszech osiągnął tak bogatą formę, a rynki papierów wartościowych miały wpływ na przebieg Wojny Siedmioletniej i Wojny Secesyjnej. Ferguson, który słynie z przekonującego i wciągającego stylu, wyjaśnia, czemu źródeł Rewolucji Francuskiej możemy dopatrywać się w finansowym...

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...

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...

Shock of the Global: The 1970s in Perspective
ISBN: 9780674061866 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the vantage point of the United States or Western Europe, the 1970s was a time of troubles: economic "stagflation," political scandal, and global turmoil. Yet from an international perspective it was a seminal decade, one that brought the reintegration of the world after the great divisions of the mid-twentieth century. It was the 1970s that introduced the world to the phenomenon of "globalization," as networks of interdependence bound peoples and societies in new and original ways. The 1970s saw the breakdown of the postwar economic order and the advent of floating currencies...

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. 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...
