About the Book...
(from the Niall Ferguson website)
"Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it’s the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it’s the chains of labour. But in The Ascent of Money, Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress. What’s more, he reveals financial history as the essential back-story behind all history.The evolution of credit and debt was as important as any technological innovation in the rise of civilization, from ancient Babylon to the silver mines of Bolivia. Banks provided the material basis for the splendours of the Italian Renaissance, while the bond market was the decisive factor in conflicts from the Seven Years’ War to the American Civil War.

Tuesday, September 14th at 6:30pm in the Bronte Bistro of Joseph-Beth Booksellers
at Lexington Green.
There are no tickets to purchase, no set menu price and reservations are not required. You may order whatever you like from the Bronte Bistro menu and pay your tab at the end of the evening.

Imagine
an eclectic mix of people coming together for good food and
stimulating conversation about a recently published book.
That's The
WEKU Book Club experience. Each month, we'll announce the next
Book Club selection. Then you can purchase a copy at Joseph-Beth
and receive a 10% discount just by mentioning WEKU. Simply read
the book and come to the next Book Club meeting.
After enjoying
delicious food, we'll settle in for an hour of discussion about
the story, its characters, the author and more. The Club will
be led by members of the WEKU staff, invited guests and, occasionally,
by the author of the selected book.
It's a wonderful
evening of food, companionship and conversation you won't want
to miss!
