This important new volume addresses the many aspects of banking in
European market economies in the twentieth century, making
innovative and authoritative research available to historians,
economists, financiers and business analysts. The distinguished
group of authors examines the historic role of banks in utilizing
domestic and foreign financial resources. Their contributions show
that from the 1880s onwards banks became an integral part of the
capital market in continental Europe. In the course of this
development the banks played a crucial part in financing industry
in North and Central Europe. This symbiotic relationship between
banks and industry is analysed and is shown to have had a decisive
impact on the inflation and crisis-prone interwar period. The
comparative and quantitative methods applied in these papers reveal
differences between the countries of North and Central Europe,
especially with regard to the degree of state intervention in
individual economies. Other topics discussed include the networks
of interlocking directorships, the effectiveness of banking
legislation and the impact of the national question on banking in
central and Southeast Europe. Universal Banking in the Twentieth
Century illustrates both striking similarities and marked
differences in the role of universal banking across Europe in terms
of the level of industrialization and the pace of economic growth.
