Sorry to see you and Tom having this feud. Your exchanges on the Book Nook thread were informative, as were the links and book recommendations you guys made. The history of money has always been a subject I've had difficulty getting my arms around. Just read a review of Niall Ferguson's latest book, The Cash Nexus: Money and Power in the Modern World, in the recent issue of the American Spectator.

The reviewer pretty much panned the book, but says the book is not without value. He concludes by saying that the book has more useful statistics than most works on economics, but that there is little wisdom in the book.

I don't expect Ferguson has many friends in the establishment, especially in the UK, after he wrote The Pity of War: Explaining World War I, in which he claims England shares equal blame with Germany for starting WWI.
