Banking historiography often does not sufficiently take into
account bankers' deliberations of their decision making, but rather
limits investigation to considerations of profit maximisation. This
book shows that the decision-making processes of nineteenth-century
bankers contemplating high-risk financial markets like Greece are
just as complex as present-day investment decisions. The book, now
published in English after a first German edition, offers in-depth
studies of decision making in concrete historical situations,
considering political and economic circumstances and also the
individual background of the actors concerned, including a
reflection on the influence of cultural movements such as
Philhellenism. Employing methodological inspirations from the field
of behavioural finance, the book analyses a broad range of
published and unpublished English, French, Greek, German and Swiss
sources on European investment in Greece between 1821 and the
Balkan wars. Additionally, rich insights into Greek economic
history, the economic integration of the country into Europe and
long-lasting European stereotypes of Southern Europe and Greece are
provided; this furthers understanding of the historical background
of the Greek financial crisis after 2009. In combining the
perspectives of financial, economic, political and cultural
history, this book is primarily significant for students of various
fields of historiography. Due to its strong awareness of
methodological questions, it is also of great interest to academic
historians. In addition, the strong public interest in the Greek
financial crisis after 2009 and its consequences for Europe will,
thirdly, attract the interest of a broader public.
