Reseña del editor:
Generations of historians have shied away from the truth behind the cliche: money makes the world go around. In the same style and manner that made 'The Pity of War' an international bestseller, Niall Ferguson answers the big questions about financeand its crucial place in bringing happiness and despair, warfare and welfare, boom and crash to nations buffeted by the onward march of history. Starting in 1700 and ending today, 'The Cash Nexus' is a dazzling, powerful and controversial explanation of modern world history and the fundamental force that lurks behind it all.
