Opis

This four volume reference work provides a comprehensive account of one of the world's premier financial centers--the city of London. More than 100 articles have been selected to show the key developments and issues in the four hundred year history of the city. Coverage includes its early history and growth, the city's heyday, its decline and subsequent recovery to its current position as a leading global financial center (London being unique as the only financial center to recover its position). All aspects of the city's activities--from banking to foreign exchange, insurance and commodity broking--are comprehensively charted. The final volume covers recent changes and developments, including deregulation and the city's increasing emphasis on financial services. Each volume contains a critical introduction.
