Opis

History of Financial Institutions contributes to the analysis of how the modern corporation, business and finance have shaped and keep on shaping our world. In a collection of twelve succinct essays, this volume looks at the role of finance in European history from the beginning of the 19th century to the period after World War II. Archivists and financial historians investigate the ways in which the international post-war order developed. They draw on often hitherto unused archival sources from central banks and other institutions to reveal the unique histories of a variety of European countries and the paths that have led to the contemporary economic and financial system.
