This book provides a history of British financial crises since the
Napoleonic wars. Interest in crises lapsed during the generally
benign financial conditions which followed the Second Word War, but
the study of banking markets and financial crises has returned to
centre stage following the credit crunch of 2007-8 and the
subsequent Eurozone crisis. The first two chapters provide an
overview of British financial crises from the bank failures of 1825
to the credit crunch of 2007-8. The causes and consequences of
individual crises are explained and recurrent features are
identified. Subsequent chapters provide more detailed accounts of
the railway boom-and-bust and the subsequent financial crisis of
1847, the crisis following the collapse of Overend Gurney in 1866,
the dislocation of London's money market at the outset of the Great
War in 1914 and the crisis in 1931 when sterling left the gold
standard. Other chapters consider the role of regulation, banks'
capital structures, and the separation of different types of
banking activity. The book examines the role of the Bank of England
as lender of last resort and the successes and failures of crisis
management. The scope for reducing the risk of future systemic
crises is assessed. The book will be of interest to students,
market practitioners, policymakers and general readers interested
in the debate over banking reform.
