I'd strongly recommend The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson:

* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2714607-the-ascent-of-mo...

I found the historical context made it much easier to understand, and while I'm not a fan of Ferguson's politics - he is an excellent historian of finance.

This is the same one who tried his hand on epidemiology?

If so, I'm gonna stay very far away from that book - there's enough authors out there that second chances in a case like this really are not required.
