The 10th anniversary edition, with new chapters on the crash, Chimerica, and cryptocurrency

In this updated edition, Niall Ferguson brings his classic financial history of the world up to the present day, tackling the populist backlash that followed the 2008 crisis, the descent of "Chimerica" into a trade war, and the advent of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, with his signature clarity and expert lens.

The Ascent of Money reveals finance as the backbone of history, casting a new light on familiar events: the Renaissance enabled by Italian foreign exchange dealers, the French Revolution traced back to a stock market bubble, the 2008 crisis traced from America's bankruptcy capital, Memphis, to China's boomtown, Chongqing. We may resent the plutocrats of Wall Street but, as Ferguson argues, the evolution of finance has rivaled the importance of any technological innovation in the rise of civilization. Indeed, to study the ascent and descent of money is to study the rise and fall of Western power itself.

Lotion
It smells good, but the pump doesn't work. Had to change it out with another one I had. Also a bit expensive as to can buy it for less and a store such as Walmart.

There is a reason why this went viral!
Set name: KOJIC
This works wonders. I went with a sand and stone deodorant, while it gets the job done,it makes my armpits dark. With this stuff, it takes care of my pits and keeps them looking nice. Also great for scratchy feet. Keeps them soft and healthy. Will be purchasing again!
