Private bankers have been defined as owner-managers of their bank,
irrespective of their type of activity, which could be in any field
of banking, sometimes in conjunction with another one, especially
commerce in the earlier periods. Analysing the experiences of
European private bankers from the early modern period to the early
twenty-first century, this book starts by examining the slow
emergence of specialist private bankers, largely from amongst those
who provided commercial credit. This initial consideration
culminates in a focus upon the roles that they played, both during
the onset of the continent's industrialization, and in
orchestrating the finances of the emerging world economy. Its
second theme is private banking's waning importance with the rise
of joint-stock competitors, which became increasingly apparent in
Britain during the mid-nineteenth century, and elsewhere within
Europe some decades later. Lastly, attention is paid to the decline
of private bankers in the twentieth century -a protracted and
uneven decline, combined with the persistence and even the enduring
success of some segments of the profession. It concludes with the
revival of private banking in the late twentieth century as a
response to the development of a new market - the management of
personal wealth.
