Description:... With the analytical boldness and the grasp of dazzling detail for which he is now famous, Ferguson offers a fascinating account of the evolution of today's economic and political landscape, from "sleaze" to the single currency. Far from being driven by iron economic laws, he argues, modern history is the product of unpredictable political conflicts; and it is their impact on volatile markets that can make or break an empire. A "tour de force" actoss three centuries, "The Cash Nexus" should transform our understanding of political economy today.
