This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Modern Banks of Issue The past twelve years have contributed much to strictly monetary as well as to banking history. Questions whose solution was doubtful and disputed have been settled to the satisfaction of intelligent men. The gold standard, which was described twelve years ago as a conspiracy against the human race, has been adopted in succession within that time by the United States, Russia, Austria - Hungary, Japan, and Mexico. Practically the only country remaining upon the silver standard is China, which is without a national monetary system, and even as these pages go to press despatches from China indicate that the government is planning such a national system to be based ultimately upon gold.

Download or read book Unsettled Account written by Richard S. Grossman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-07 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping look at the evolution of commercial banks over the past two centuries Commercial banks are among the oldest and most familiar financial institutions. When they work well, we hardly notice; when they do not, we rail against them. What are the historical forces that have shaped the modern banking system? In Unsettled Account, Richard Grossman takes the first truly comparative look at the development of commercial banking systems over the past two centuries in Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia. Grossman focuses on four major elements that have contributed to banking evolution: crises, bailouts, mergers, and regulations. He explores where banking crises come from and why certain banking systems are more resistant to crises than others, how governments and financial systems respond to crises, why merger movements suddenly take off, and what motivates governments to regulate banks. Grossman reveals that many of the same components underlying the history of banking evolution are at work today. The recent subprime mortgage crisis had its origins, like many earlier banking crises, in a boom-bust economic cycle. Grossman finds that important historical elements are also at play in modern bailouts, merger movements, and regulatory reforms. Unsettled Account is a fascinating and informative must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the modern commercial banking system came to be, where it is headed, and how its development will affect global economic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first century BC lending and borrowing by the senators was the talk of Rome and even provoked political crises. During this same period, the state tax-farmers were handling enormous sums and exploiting the provinces of the Empire. Until now no book has presented a synthetic view of Roman banking and financial life as a whole, from the time of the appearance of the first bankers' shops in the Forum between 318 and 310 BC down to the end of the Principate in AD 284. Professor Andreau writes of the business deals of the elite and the professional bankers and also of the interventions of the state. To what extent did the spirit of profit and enterprise predominate over the traditional values of the city of Rome? And what economic role did these financiers play? How should we compare that role to that of their counterparts in later periods.

Download or read book The Evolution of Central Banking: Theory and History written by Stefano Ugolini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first complete survey of the evolution of monetary institutions and practices in Western countries from the Middle Ages to today. It radically rethinks previous attempts at a history of monetary institutions by avoiding institutional approach and shifting the focus away from the Anglo-American experience. Previous histories have been hamstrung by the linear, teleological assessment of the evolution of central banks. Free from such assumptions, Ugolini’s work offers bankers and policymakers valuable and profound insights into their institutions. Using a functional approach, Ugolini charts an historical trajectory longer and broader than any other attempted on the subject. Moving away from the Anglo-American perspective, the book allows for a richer (and less biased) analysis of long-term trends. The book is ideal for researchers looking to better understand the evolution of the institutions that underlie the global economy.

This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern bank insurance is traced to its roots in The Chinese Cornerstone of Modern Banking: The Canton Guaranty System and the Origins of Bank Deposit Insurance 1780-1933. Frederic Delano Grant, Jr. provides new understandings of the Canton System, collective responsibility for debt at Canton, and the history of deposit insurance. The Canton Guaranty System inspired radical reform in New York in 1829 – the ancestor of all modern deposit insurance. Yet it was never the success imagined, and soon failed. In the Opium War, the Chinese government as implicit guarantor was forced to pay its debts in full on 23 July 1843. The afflictions of the Chinese system, including moral hazard, too big to fail, and unenforced laws, remain familiar today.

Download or read book Banking on the State written by Hicham Safieddine and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1943, Lebanon gained its formal political independence from France; only after two more decades did the country finally establish a national central bank. Inaugurated on April 1, 1964, the Banque du Liban (BDL) was billed by Lebanese authorities as the nation's primary symbol of economic sovereignty and as the last step towards full independence. In the local press, it was described as a means of projecting state power and enhancing national pride. Yet the history of its founding—stretching from its Ottoman origins in mid-nineteenth century up until the mid-twentieth—tells a different, more complex story. Banking on the State reveals how the financial foundations of Lebanon were shaped by the history of the standardization of economic practices and financial regimes within the decolonizing world. The system of central banking that emerged was the product of a complex interaction of war, economic policies, international financial regimes, post-colonial state-building, global currents of technocratic knowledge, and private business interests. It served rather than challenged the interests of an oligarchy of local bankers. As Hicham Safieddine shows, the set of arrangements that governed the central bank thus was dictated by dynamics of political power and financial profit more than market forces, national interest or economic sovereignty.

Book excerpt: Central banks wield extraordinary power, yet most people know little about their evolution or how they help shape the world economy. That's about to change. As a key building block of modern society, central banks have influenced the actions of governments and individuals for hundreds of years, allowing nations like the US and UK to gain financial security and rise to prominence on the world's stage, and saving Western civilization from collapse. But they're largely misunderstood-and it doesn't help that so many myths and conspiracy theories exist. Most people don't know where the idea of central banking came from, its role in the history of our modern world, and the way it's still shaping international events and policies today. This book explores the journey of central banking from ancient to modern times: covering the major events, challenges, and innovations that had a hand in its development. Concise yet informative, it explains the forces that shaped central banking and the role it plays in our everyday lives, including: How modern Europe transformed ancient banking practices to create central banking How central banking proved instrumental in saving Western civilization during the Great Depression How unconventional practices like quantitative easing and negative interest rates entered the mix How challenges and innovations like populism, globalization, and digital currencies are changing the world of central banking How some of the most pervasive central banking conspiracy theories started and why they still persist today How central banking operates as a bedrock of our modern global economy And much more. Whether you're looking to deepen your knowledge of banking practices and innovations, better understand the role of central banking in history, or simply learn more about central banking as it relates to your everyday life, this book will give you a comprehensive introduction and solid foundation for future study.
