London and Paris, the world's two leading financial centres in the
nineteenth century, experienced differing fortunes during the
twentieth century. While London remained an international financial
centre, Paris' influence declined. Yet over the last twenty years
deregulation, internationalization, and the advent of the single
currency have reactivated their competition in ways reminiscent of
their old rivalry before the First World War. This book provides a
long-term perspective on the development of each centre, with
special attention devoted to the pre-1914 years and to the last
decades of the twentieth century, in order to contrast these two
eras of globalization. The chapters include both archive-based and
synthetic surveys and are written by the leading specialists of the
field. This comparison between Europe's two leading capital cities
will also provide new insights into two important subjects: the
political economy of Britain and France in the twentieth century,
and the history of international financial centres. As much as a
comparison between London and Paris as international financial
centres, this book is an Anglo-French comparison; in other words,
it considers, through the prism of finance, several aspects of the
two countries' economic, business, social, and political histories.
It includes contributions from leading banking, financial, and
economic historians, and will be of interest to academics,
researchers, and students of Financial and Economic History, and
the role of London and Paris in particular.
