If you have the time (and if you missed it on Channel 4), you might want to have a look at Professor Niall Ferguson's The Ascent of Money. You can catch it here.
OK, it is guilty of over-simplification and I confess that it veers a bit too far to the right for my political taste, but nevertheless it is so seldom that we see intelligent television that it is to be welcomed.
Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteTotally missed this show on TV itself but looks good so will pick up through 4 on Demand.
Another good Channel 4 show is 'Unreported World' which airs every Friday after C4 News.
