Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This new, authoritative interpretation of bank-industry relations in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries considers whether deficiencies in the financial provision from banks to British industry handicapped Britain's competitive advantage in world markets. Using a rich source of contemporary records, and mircro-economic studies, an economic rationale for historical bank behaviour is expounded.
MoreLong description:
In the decades before 1914, the City of London was the premier international financial centre. However, this position was not long maintained, other industrial nations quickly and effectively challenged the influence of Britain, and following the disruption of the world markets caused by World War I and the Great Depression of the 1930s, international hegemony slipped away for ever.
The relationship of bankers and industrialists has often been cited as a key factor in this decline. Critics of the banks claim that, even before World War I, there were serious deficiencies in the financial provision provided by banks to the domestic industrial sector, and that these deficiencies handicapped Britain's competitive advantage in world markets, leading to the decline of their influence and power.
This book examines these claims, and bringing to bear important new data that presents the debate in a novel and revealing framework, expounds an economic rationale for historical bank behaviour. Using a rich source of contemporary records, it presents a series of micro-economic studies into commercial bank assets and liabilities, financial crises, bank mergers, the professionalization of banking, the organization and conduct of the industrial loan business, and the nature of bank support given to industrial clients.
The result is a new, authoritative interpretation of bank-industry relations in the half-century before World War I.
This is fundamental reading in British (and European) banking history, and also a very informative and stimulating source for economic and business historian alike.
