I would like to see this, but I am not in US nor UK. Regionalism in copyrights has to stop in global world that it is today.

The book of the same name that accompanies the series is well worth reading and is bound by no such regionalism.

I'd like to see this also, but I am in Indiana, on dial-up (specifically Brown Co).

Our monopoly providers refuse to offer service in opposition what they have promised Congress.

I little cheesy for my taste (maybe I've been out of the UK too long...) but a welcome alternative to the financial woo that's been so popular on the Internet lately (particularly that Zeitgeist drivel).

I found Weatherford's "History of Money" to be a much better history of the subject.

Agreed. I thought Ferguson's book would be interesting when I saw it at the bookstore last year, but quickly decided that it wasn't worth it after checking out reviews.

I don't have links to specific reviews I read, but my impression of the author is that he's turned away from research in favour of writing popular and shallow books on overly broad subjects. Apparently a couple of his earlier works were quite well regarded, but since then he's been dumping out a book a year.
