He is an award-winning filmmaker, too, having received an international Emmy for his PBS series The Ascent of Money. His 2018 book, The Square and the Tower, was a New York Times bestseller and was also adapted for television by PBS as Niall Ferguson’s Networld. He is a trustee of the New York Historical Society, the London-based Centre for Policy Studies, and the newly founded University
