Equalizer: Ferguson has several other titles that I think you’d find interesting. He’s written extensively on the British Empire and the American hegemony that followed. My three favorites are “The Pity of War” (revisionist history of WWI), “Empire” (rise and fall of the British Empire) and “Colossus” (rise and fall of the American Empire).

I’d also strongly recommend visiting his website at: http://www.niallferguson.com/site/FERG/Templates/Home.aspx?pageid=1. Some very interesting articles there, as well as links to other sites.

I just finished “The Ascent of Money” a couple of weeks back. It’s a little uneven, but a fascinating read nonetheless.
