The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World by Niall Ferguson

4.0

Honestly, finance and economics have always been tougher subjects for me to grasp. But I'm trying to learn. So in that respect, this was helpful, in that it explained much of the history of common things we take for granted today. Insurance in particular. I still had sections where I felt dizzied by all of the technical jargon and in-depth descriptions, but it certainly wasn't the worst I've ever known.

All in all it was an enlightening if also confusing read.
