    In rebuilding the case for a more robust, behaviorally informed Keynesianism, they detail the most pervasive effects of animal spirits in contemporary economic life–such as confidence, fear, bad faith, corruption, a concern for fairness, and the stories we tell ourselves about our economic fortunes–and show how Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and the rational expectations revolution failed to account for them.

    Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance. Perhaps most important, The Ascent of Money documents how a new financial revolution is propelling the world?s biggest countries, India and China, from poverty to wealth in the space of a single generation?an economic transformation unprecedented in human history. Yet the central lesson of the financial history is that sooner or later every bubble bursts?sooner or later the bearish sellers outnumber the bullish buyers, sooner or later greed flips into fear.
