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

It really hydrates
I havent used it long enough but so far so good. I haven't had any reactions to it. It is really oily so I personally do not use it during the day becaus ei dont like looking extra oily. But at night is really good.

Good, but not for super oily skin
My skin is oily in my t zone especially my nose area due to my large pores. I wanted to find a ceramide cream to help protect my skin barrier when using retinoid at night. This product is heavy and had me waking up with a greasy and oily t zone in the morning. I think it would be great for dry dehydrated skin but not for me. It does make my skin feel soft though. I haven't experienced any breakouts due to it either. The bottle is small but a little definitely goes a long way with this as it is rich like the name describes. I also love how it doesn't have a fragrance at all. Everything about this product is pretty good, its just not suited for my skin personally due to my skin being naturally oily already.

It’s good and non irritating
Perfect for daily use, it’s lightweight so if you have very dry skin (like me) u may need to use thicker moisturizer but it’s still pretty good. U can still wear make up afterwards with no issues which I loved

Excelent daily moisturizer
This is a nice, thick, ceramide rich moisturizer that provides great occlusion. I have really dry skin, and this is like a big drink of water for the face.

Hydrating Night Time Lotion
This product is so rich and hydrating. I wake up in the morning and my skin still feels hydrated. It is an amazing product especially for the price. I have tried many lotions and this is the best like literally better than high end ones.
