Robert Yee: The City's Defense, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In The City's Defense, Robert Yee traces the evolution of the global economic order in the first half of the twentieth century. He shows how the Bank of England was able to maintain the prestige and preeminence of the City of London as the world's leading financial center. In response to mass unemployment, volatile exchange rates, and economic stagnation, the Bank expanded its reach to areas outside the traditional scope of central banking, such as industrial policy and foreign affairs. Drawing on a wide range of archival evidence from national governments, private corporations, and international organizations, Yee re-evaluates our understanding of Britain's role in a changing global economy.
