This world was increasingly challenged in the interwar period, being replaced by floating exchange rates, trade protectionism and restrictions on capital movements.
This book fills a gap in the historiography of British banking by recovering the histories of long-forgotten merchant banks rather than focusing on the better-known firms.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
From
Crisis
to
Crisis examines
the
impact
of the
harsh
conditions
of
the
interwar
economy on
the
British
merchant
banks.
The
financial
crises
of
1914
and
1931
are
assessed
using
primary
sources.
The
competitive
threats,
including
the
rise
of
New
York
as
a
rival
financial
centre,
are
considered.
It
challenges
alleged
special
treatment
and
provides
fresh
perspectives
on
the
interwar
rationalisation
of
industry.
During the late nineteenth century, Britain’s merchant banks had become pre-eminent in a world of fixed exchange rates, free trade and the unfettered mobility of international capital. This world was increasingly challenged in the interwar period, being replaced by floating exchange rates, trade protectionism and restrictions on capital movements.
This book fills a gap in the historiography of British banking by recovering the histories of long-forgotten merchant banks rather than focusing on the better-known firms. Using a wide range of archival resources, it traces the strategic transformation by some merchant banks from higher-risk, capital intensive activities to lower-risk, advisory services.
