Autor Philip Cogganen Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2020
From the development of international trade fairs in the twelfth century to the innovations made in China, India, and the Arab world, it turns out that historical economies were much more sophisticated that we might imagine, tied together by webs of credit and financial instruments much like our modern economy.
Here, Philip Coggan takes us from the ancient mountains of North Wales through Grand Central station and the great civilizations of Mesopotamia to the factories of Malaysia, showing how changes in agriculture, finance, technology, work, and demographics have driven the progress of human civilization. It's the story of how trade became broader and deeper over thousands of years; how governments have influenced economies, for good or ill; and how societies have repeatedly tried to tame, and harness, finance. More shows how, at every step of our long journey, it was the connection between people that resulted in more trade, more specialization, more freedom, and ultimately, more prosperity.

Recenzii
How did humanity transform the world over the last 10,000 years? Philip Coggan provides a comprehensive and lucid account
This is economics entertainingly and expertly demystified ... Coggan, a columnist at The Economist, is one of the best financial journalists of his generation ... This is a grown-up book that is not suitable for adolescent Twitter warriors of the left or right
Epic
Big and timely ... Coggan's account of the rise of the world economy is accessible and mercifully free of jargon
More, a lucid and wide-ranging new history of the global economy from Philip Coggan, is a book firmly in the Smithian tradition ... vivid, lively and rich in insight ... a truly amazing story
It is a real pleasure, then, to read a history that naturally includes the crises but sets them in the context of the immense economic advances over the past ten millennia ... Philip Coggan, The Economist's Bartleby columnist, tells the story with both narrative verve and acute observation ... By the end of the book, More has given the reader a vivid sense of the extraordinary achievements of the interwoven modern world economy, with numerous lively anecdotes. It is quite an accomplishment to find the right length to tell a 10,000-year story while including so much relevant detail.
Packed with amazing facts ... Occasional brushstrokes of humour add light touches ... given the immensity of the subject, it is a masterpiece of selection and compression.
Ambitious in its scope and quite brilliant in its achievement ... I would place this book in the ranks of Yuval Noah Harari's best-selling Sapiens
More takes a vast 10,000 year sweep of economic history and melds it into a compelling story of countries and conflicts, civilisations and civic institutions, stagnations and transformations. All in little more than 300 pages of lucid prose. It is a majestic must-read.
More is a glorious sweep through economic history. Open any page and Philip Coggan gives us new insights on the global economic system. His new book is an undiluted pleasure.
Philip Coggan tells his epic story of humankind's economic development with both wisdom and wit. Brilliantly weaving together a sweeping historical narrative with a focus on the "drivers" of development - energy, transportation, government and so on - Coggan has written a book that should be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how our modern day economy came into being.
Philip Coggan's More is a monumental work of scholarship that never feels like one while you are reading it. All of human economic history is here distilled, with something you didn't know on every page, and today's apparently terrible economic problems put into a clear context.It should be recommended reading for students, economists, anyone who works in business, and anyone with an interest in how our world came to be the way it is.
More is an extraordinary achievement. How can it be possible to turn 10,000 years of human endeavour into a tale which is at once exciting, coherent and surprisingly optimistic? The Economist's Philip Coggan has a very rare gift. Economics books usually overwhelm the reader with heavy analysis and too many statistics, or frustrate with oversimplification. Coggan distils a vast expanse of human history - the history of trade and economic advance - into a beautifully light and elegantly written tale, full of surprises, and free of ideology. If you have never read any economics, I can think of no better place to start. If you are a seasoned economist, you will discover there is much to learn. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
An engaging and highly accessible narrative about the long historical development of global trade, commerce, and innovation. Philip Coggan writes clearly about how and why it all happened, and gives us cause for optimism in difficult times.
a fantastic sweep ... Boris Johnson doesn't have much time on his hands for reading at the moment. But ... I can only hope someone is providing him with the odd precis of this kind of book.
