Модерната история показва, че успехът на нациите зависи до голяма степен от това как управляват парите си. За военната победа финансите са също толкова решаващи, както и огневата мощ.

По блестящ начин показва, че историята е управлявана далеч не само от мотива за печалба, а и от мощни и често противоречиви човешки импулси като секс, насилие и желание за власт. "Фъргюсън е един от най-успешните историци, пишещи днес... "Пари и власт..." предлага съществен коректив ... |
