- Keyframe 17y agoI 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. edit: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-545930454338776455 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-545930454338776455
- forkqueue 17y agoThe book of the same name that accompanies the series is well worth reading and is bound by no such regionalism.

- TheAmazingIdiot 17y agoI'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.
- jamesbritt 17y agoThere's a DVD set coming out.
- anigbrowl 17y agoI 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).
- teodesian 17y agoI found Weatherford's "History of Money" to be a much better history of the subject.
- akamaka 17y agoAgreed. 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.
