Description:
"[A] magnificent history of money and finance."--New York Times Book Review "Convincingly makes the case that finance is a change-maker of change-makers."--Financial Times In the aftermath of recent financial crises, it's easy to see finance as a wrecking ball: something that destroys fortunes and jobs, and undermines governments and banks. In Money Changes Everything, leading financial historian William Goetzmann argues the exact opposite--that the development of finance has made the growth of civilizations possible. Goetzmann explains that finance is a time machine, a technology that allows us to move value forward and backward through time; and that this innovation has changed the very way we think about and plan for the future. He shows how finance was present at key moments in history: driving the invention of writing in ancient Mesopotamia, spurring the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome to become great empires, determining the rise and fall of dynasties in imperial China, and underwriting the trade expeditions that led Europeans to the New World.
He also demonstrates how the apparatus we associate with a modern economy--stock markets, lines of credit, complex financial products, and international trade--were repeatedly developed, forgotten, and reinvented over the course of human history. Exploring the critical role of finance over the millennia, and around the world, Goetzmann details how wondrous financial technologies and institutions--money, bonds, banks, corporations, and more--have helped urban centers to expand and cultures to flourish. And it's not done reshaping our lives, as Goetzmann considers the challenges

Keeps my dog happy
Size: Medium
This is a fun toy for our cavalier. It's pretty versatile in how you can use it, which I like because it allows me to change things up to keep my dog engaged. He's also an aggressive chewer and he hasn't destroyed it.

Good size and great bounce!
Size: Small
My 1 1/2 year old Cavapoo loves this toy. Very light weight ball that bounces off her paws when she reaches for it and then having to chase it further. Then she charges back with it for another chase when I throw it again.

THE BEST INDESTRUCTIBLE BALL
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
I bought this ball 6 months ago and feel obligated to come back all these months later to say how great it is! My Frenchie has killed every toy he’s ever had but not this ball! He absolutely loves this ball. It’s lightweight and can be used for both indoor and outdoor play and still looks brand new.

good ball, wrong color
Size: Medium
I think the hot-ee roller is a great ball! My problem is that there is no option to select a color. I thought I was getting a purple one, since that is what is shown in the picture. As usual, I failed to read that it was assorted colors. I have a peculiar little dog that will only play with the purple one. His current purple one is in tatters. You could hardly even call it a ball at this point. We have red, blue and green and they are invisible to him.
