"The Ascent of Money"
Niall Ferguson, Tisch Professor of History, Harvard University
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Harvard historian Niall Ferguson for a discussion of his new book, "The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World." In the conversation, drawing on insights from the biological sciences, Ferguson describes the rise and evolution of finance focusing on insurance, banks, and the bond market. Using the
examples of housing and the U.S. China economic relationship, Ferguson demonstrates the way history can inform our understanding of the current financial crisis. He also reflects on the implications of the financial crisis for American global hegemony.

Bro, there is nothing naive about accepting an awful lot of good came out of imperialism. what i dont understand is... no one minds the chinese treating those they colonised like scum, or the turks, or the indians, or any other great people... and if they do theyh are muted about it... the europeans on the other hand supposedly did nothing but bad things... not true... indeed id suggest that was naive sir! but i respect ur opinion... after all, im european and its how ive been brought up! peace

@Sh012222 Love your comment. That idiot tooshlong talks out of his arse and has no clue. He's the most brain-dead commentator I have ever come across!

@tooshlong and you're a bloody liar, as you're not in India but in the UK. I just checked your profile. No wonder you rant about empire, and talk like a Brit. You're a fascist...probably a BNP supporter and hate Indians, so shut the f*ck up, go to hell and leave me alone. I will block you and do not want your bile and empty drivel in my in box. Enjoy crawling up Ferguson's arse, and crawl back under that rock you came from!

@tooshlong Shut your mouth you ignorant idiot. You're beginning to irritate me, and I don't give a damn about you and what you think. This discussion is over, as you're too offensive and moronic to have a civilized discussion. You may idolise the Brits for coloniSing you, but you have the manners of a backward peasant from a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY...like it or not! I don't give a shit if you find that offensive, Now f*uck off and leave me alone.
