Tainted Alpha

After reading Niall Ferguson’s great essay in the yesterday’s WSJ, I can recommended a great book (accompanied by TV series on DVD)  from the same author.

Author tells the story of money and it’s importance in building today’s civilization. Niall Ferguson writes in comprehensive langue and uses anecdotes and specific historical events to paint a broader picture of past and present global economy.

Book tries to get to the bottom of the truth and breaks the usual stereotypes and misrepresentations from times of Mesopotamia to the current crisis.
