USDThe theme of this volume is challenging both in its scale and in its scope. Its purpose is to take account of the state of research and writing on the symbiotic relationship between banking, trade and industry and the state during the rise and expansion of capitalism, and to compare and assess the results in order to widen current perspectives. Topics covered range from the origins of banking in the Middle Ages, through the influence of banks in leading industrial economies and the influence of banks on "latecomer" economies, to the expansion of banking in the American and Asian economies.
- Was the first volume to cover the principal aspects of the relationship between banking, trade and industry, and the state since the Middle Ages
- Coverage extends over four continents, Europe, North America, Asia and Europe
- The authors are the leading historians on finance and trade in their respective countries
