During The Ascent of Money, Naill Ferguson referred to a report on Finance which he was working on to be presented later this year. Is there any more information about this new report?
Thank you for these great resources. I especially enjoyed the interviews as they unpacked some of the concepts presented in the program a bit more.

Great piece for a quick readily understandable recent history of how we got into the current financial crisis and our global dependence on China as our lender in the bail out.
It was a stunning show. I would like to get a DVD of this show.
I have already ordered the books.
I need to share this, and eagerly anticipate availability of DVD.
For further study I strongly recommend a succinct and enlightening audio lecture by Prof. John Ridpath on the history of money, its fundamental functions, and its debasement in the twentieth century. It is entitled, “Keynesianism and the Philosophical Overthrow of Gold.” This lecture is an absolute must for anyone seriously studying economics.
I teach High School economics and it is rare to fine something like this for my class. The 2 hour version is available for purchase. Will the full version also be available?
