About Niall Ferguson

Historian and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford; previously taught at Oxford, Harvard and NYU Stern.

The Ascent of Money traces credit, bond markets, joint-stock equity, insurance and property finance from their origins, giving investors the institutional history behind instruments they price every day. The House of Rothschild and High Financier examine how two banking houses actually made money and managed sovereign and political risk over long periods.
