This is a study of the emergence, growth, and performance of
British multinational banks from their origins in the 1830s until
the present day. British-owned banks played leading roles in the
financial systems of much of Asia and the southern hemisphere
during the nineteenth century and after. In the 1970s and 1980s
they made large investments in California and elsewhere in the
United States. They played major roles in the finance of
international trade, in international diplomacy, in the birth of
the Eurodollar market, and in the world debt crisis. This is the
first modern general history of these banks. It is based on a wide
range of confidential banking archives in Britain, Australia, and
Hong Kong, most of which were previously unavailable. Geoffrey
Jones reveals, for the first time, details of the real profits and
secret reserves of these banks, and uses these data in a unique
analysis of their financial performance over more than a century.
Jones places this new empirical evidence in the context of modern
theories of multinational enterprise and of competitive advantage.
This is a lucidly written and fascinating study, which will be of
importance not only to historians, but to anyone concerned with
contemporary multinational banking.
