The late seventeenth century was a crucial period in English
financial history. A host of joint-stock companies emerged offering
the opportunity for investment in projects ranging from the
manufacture of paper to the search for sunken treasure. Driven by
the demands of the Nine Years' War, the state also employed
innovative tactics to attract money, its most famous scheme being
the incorporation of the Bank of England. This 2009 book provides a
comprehensive study of the choices and actions of the investors who
enthusiastically embraced London's new financial market. It
highlights the interactions between public and private finance,
looks at how information circulated around the market and was used
by speculators and investors, and documents the establishment of
the institutions - the Bank of England, the national debt and an
active secondary market in that debt - on which England's financial
system was built.
