This book reveals the surprising role that credit, money created ex
nihilo by financiers, played in raising the British government's
war loans between 1793 and 1815. Using often overlooked
contemporary objections to the National Debt a startling paradox is
revealed as it is shown how the government's ostensible creditors
had, in fact, very little "real" money to lend and were instead
often reliant for their own solvency upon the very government they
were lending to. By following the careers of unsuccessful
loan-contractors, who went bankrupt lending to the government, to
the triumphant career of the House of Rothschild; who successfully
"exported" the British system of war-financing abroad with the
coming of peace, the symbiotic relationship that existed between
the British government and their ostensible creditors is revealed.
Also highlighted is the power granted to the (technically bankrupt)
Bank of England over credit and the money supply, an unprecedented
and highly influential development that filled many contemporaries
with horror. This is a tale of bankruptcy, stock market
manipulation, bribery and institutional corruption that continues
to exert its influence today and will be of interest to anyone
interested in government financing, debt and the origins of modern
finance.
