This is the first history of finance - broadly defined to include
money, banking, capital markets, public and private finance,
international transfers etc. - that covers Western Europe (with an
occasional glance at the western hemisphere) and half a millennium.
Charles Kindleberger highlights the development of financial
institutions to meet emerging needs, and the similarities and
contrasts in the handling of financial problems such as
transferring resources from one country to another, stimulating
investment, or financing war and cleaning up the resulting monetary
mess. The first half of the book covers money, banking and finance
from 1450 to 1913; the second deals in considerably finer detail
with the twentieth century. This major work casts current issues in
historical perspective and throws light on the fascinating, and far
from orderly, evolution of financial institutions and the
management of financial problems. Comprehensive, critical and
cosmopolitan, this book is both an outstanding work of reference
and essential reading for all those involved in the study and
practice of finance, be they economic historians, financial
experts, scholarly bankers or students of money and banking. This
groundbreaking work was first published in 1984.
