This is a full and authoritative account of the history of private
banking, beginning with its development in conjunction with the
world markets served by and centred on a few European cities,
notably Amsterdam and London. These banks were usually
partnerships, a form of organization which persisted as the role of
private banking changed in response to the political and economic
transformations of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was
in this period, and the succeeding Golden Age of private banking
from 1815 to the 1870s, that many of the great names this book
treats rose to fame: Baring, Rothschild, Mallet and Hottinger
became synonymous with wealth and economic power, as German, French
and the remarkably long-lasting Geneva banks flourished and
expanded. The last parts of this study detail the way in which
private banking adapted to the age of the corporate economy from
the 1870s to the 1930s, the decline during and after the Great
Depression and the post-war renaissance. It concludes with an
appraisal of the causes and consequences of the modern expansion of
private banking: no longer the exclusive preserve of partnerships,
the management of investment portfolios of wealthy individuals and
institutions is now a major concern of international joint-stock
banks.
