貪婪之夢(mèng)2歌詞

[00:00.51]What's more, I want to reveal financial history as the essential back story behind all history.
[00:09.94]Banks financed the Renaissance while the bond market decided wars.
[00:20.20]Stock markets built empires
[00:24.39]and monetary meltdowns made revolutions.
[00:31.42]From Ancient Mesopotamia right down to present day London
[00:35.57]the ascent of money has been an indispensable part of the ascent of man.
[00:40.61]But money's rise has never been a smooth, upward ride.
[00:44.39]As we all see, financial history has repeatedly been interrupted by gut-wrenching crises
[00:50.44]of which today's is just the latest.
[00:53.44]From the fluctuating prices of the homes we own to the high-speed industrialisation of China,
[00:59.43]the power of finance is everywhere we look And it affects all of our lives.
