Recenzje

'… an original and important book. … this banking, financial, and commercial adventure still makes for an exciting story. Moazzin, mobilizes the rich available archives to tell this story in detail. He adds intermediate conclusions, in each chapter, and an excellent conclusion that furthers our understanding of the internationalization of banks and firms, and the interweaving of the Euro-Asian economies.'
