About This Item
Allen Lane, Camberwell, 2008. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. A second-hand copy with no annotations no underlining. (It is actually a used copy that has been read!) Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and reproductions of artworks in the text, and a number of colour plates. The author reveals financial history as the essential back story behind all history. He explains why the origins of the French Revolution lie in a stock-market bubble caused by a convicted Scots murderer. He shows how financial failure turned Argentina from the world's 6th richest country into an inflation ridden basketcase  and how a financial revolution is propelling the world's most populous country from poverty to power.  Yet the most important lesson of financial history is that sooner or later every bubble bursts.  Paraphrasing the rear panel blurb Full number line.
