This important two volume reference work comprises the most
important articles and papers on the history of industrial finance
and capital formation from the 18th century to World War I. It
covers all the main regions of the world with special emphasis on
the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and the United States. By
providing a careful selection of the most influential articles,
these two volumes make a significant contribution to an issue of
great and continuing importance.
This book, the product of a unique international scholarly
collaboration sponsored jointly by the American Council of Learned
Societies and the Soviet Academy of Sciences, provides a
comprehensive survey on international banking from 1870 to 1914. In
that period international investment reached dimensions previously
unknown, and the banking systems of the world achieved a degree of
internationalization without precedent. The book's authors,
twenty-five scholars from fifteen countries, are the acknowledged
experts in their fields. They detail the origin and development of
internationally oriented banks in each major country, and explain
their role in foreign investment and industrial finance. They look
at all areas of the world that were involved in international
investment, either as investors, recipients of investment, or both.
The definitive work on international banking from 1870 to 1914,
this book will interest scholars and students in financial and
banking history, bankers and economists in the finanical industry,
and general historians.
