Finance and Modernization centres on a set of historical
developments and problems typified by the long history of the
A-sterreichische Creditanstalt and its successor organizations, and
opens the way to compare and contrast experiences throughout
Central and Western Europe and also on other continents. The
structure of this volume reflects the changing role and nature of
banks as economies become industrialized and modernized. Although
banks adapt to the needs of an industrializing economy, at the same
time, industrialization influences the manner in which banking
systems grow and the structures which they adopt. Beginning with
studies of the Austrian banks, their development and their crises,
the volume then moves on to look at case studies of important
aspects of financial activity - German stock markets, railroad
investment, and information networks. This is followed by a section
on country studies of banking modernization in Sweden, the
Netherlands and Greece. Finally, the collection concludes with two
chapters, one on banking in China and the other on banking in
India, certainly both of intrinsic interest and of importance in an
era of globalization. Professor Teichova, one of the great scholars
in the field, concludes with reflections on the individual
contributions and the general problems addressed in this book.
