The Bank of England - the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street - has
played a crucial, if sometimes little understood role in the life
of the nation for over 300 years. Financer of wars, issuer of
notes, lender of last resort, watchdog of the City, and most
recently as a powerful shaper of economic policy - in all these
roles its actions and decisions have had far-reaching consequences.
Here, a distinguished group of historians and economists with
first-hand knowledge of the Bank's past and present provides an
authoritative and readable assessment of the major themes in the
Bank's history: its relationship with government; its impact on the
British economy; its position in the City of London; and its role
in the international banking and monetary system. We are also given
an insight into the evolution of a uniquely British institution,
its management, and some of the most colourful and influential
figures associated with it, such as Montagu Norman, the commanding
figure who was Governor from 1920-44. To bring the picture up to
the present Rupert Pennant-Rea outlines the contemporary challenges
of independence, restructuring, and European Monetary development.
Added value is given by two main appendices: a detailed chronology
of the Bank's history; and a comprehensive listing of its
governors, directors, and senior officials.
