Review:

The hardback publication of Niall Ferguson's book was prophetic, but this edition - topped and tailed with a passionate, closely argued call for us to educate ourselves about financial markets - could not be more timely -- Tony Clements * Telegraph * Dazzling ... extraordinarily timely -- Martin Vander Weyer * Spectator * A whistle-stop tour of the historical events that gave us the financial system we have today ... To Niall Ferguson's list of talents we can now add great timing -- Stephanie Flanders * Mail on Sunday * Ferguson is the most brilliant British historian of his generation ... he writes with splendid panache * Times * Ferguson's powers are on formidable display -- Tristram Hunt * Observer * Wonderfully accessible ... Ferguson is spot on -- Allister Heath * Literary Review * A fine history ... told with verve and insight * Daily Telegraph * One of the world's leading historians -- Hamish McRae * Independent *
