Book Review: The Decline and Fall of the British Empire, 1781-1997

If you like this book, I also highly recommend Niall Ferguson's "The Ascent of Money". A brilliant and excellent historical explanation of what happened this year.
Ferguson is a professor of Finance AND history at Harvard. Also a Hoover Fellow and Oxford.
This book will be turned into a PBS special airing in January.
Many very good Ferguson interviews are on YouTube. Here is a 45 minute interview on Bloomberg that is well worth listening to:
