His is a highly knowledgeable intellect, beside knowing how to use the tools (the passion for the subject, the persuasion of his arguments, the gripping description of the historical events as if they weren't presented by a gifted historian but by an experienced mystery writer) to capture the attention of the reader/viewer. I highly recommend to read this book which, together with his "Civilization - The Six Killer Apps of Western Power/The West and the Rest," passionately describes the road the Western World travelled to create our present civilization. What's up to us now, is to establish a truly peaceful and productive human society. To do so, please read, added to Niall Ferguson's mentioned books, "ABUNDANCE, the future is better than you think," by Peter H. Diamandis & Steven Kotler," "MERCHANTS of DESPAIR," by Robert Zubrin," and "DECONVERTED," by Seth Andrews and add them to Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Objectivism . Hours of intense awareness and fruitful reading pleasure expect you, as you run through pages upon pages of fascinating writings that will capture your full attention. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World: 10th Anniversary Edition - Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World (Pulitzer Prize Winner) - The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/274362244-the-ascent-of-money-a-financial-history-of-the-world](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/274362244-the-ascent-of-money-a-financial-history-of-the-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
