The Theory and Practice of Central Banking, 1797–1913

E. Victor Morgan

doi:10.1017/CBO9781316530351

Originally published in 1943, this book presents a rigorous study of central banking from both theoretical and historical perspectives during the period 1797 to 1913. This parallel treatment of monetary events and monetary theories reveals not only the connection between the facts and the theories, but also the occasional gaps between them. Numerous tables and an appendix section are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of banking and economic history.
