Críticas

Review of the hardback: 'Atack and Neal bring together a brilliant, provocative and authoritative set of essays on financial history. The essays share the desire to link social, political, and economy history with finance, to place financial development within the story line that connects financial changes to the development of commerce, industry, and politics. The coverage is broad in space and time, covering all aspects of finance - money, banking, central banking, securities markets, and financial crises - in many countries and over four centuries of change. The authors are the leading authorities in their field. Although the articles are carefully argued and rich in quantitative detail, they are exceptionally lively because they combine the discipline of economic analysis with a broader historical narrative that brings to life the personal histories of financiers as part of the broader arc of European and American financial development. The book is more than a collection of great studies of the past; it is also a tool to teach historians how to think about finance, and to teach financiers how to think about history.' Charles Calomiris, Columbia University Graduate School of Business

Review of the hardback: 'In this splendid collection, distinguished financial historians from many countries discuss the most important features of financial markets and institutions, covering a great span of time from the seventeenth century to the recent past. Larry Neal himself has written a masterly summary of the main findings that brings out lessons learned in the past and those that were missed. This book should be put in the hands of regulators and central bankers everywhere. They would benefit from reading more financial history of this kind.' Forrest Capie, Official Historian, Bank of England, and Cass Business School

Review of the hardback: 'The credit crisis in the United States has created new doubts, not least in academic circles, about the advantages of sophisticated financial markets. This collection by Atack and Neal is therefore all the more timely as a reminder that financial development, done right, solves more problems than it creates. In its use of history it is also a reminder of the need to avoid fighting the last war. Financial institutions and markets are in a continuous state of flux and the consequences of regulatory responses are not always as expected. There are lessons here, in other words, not just for historians but for policymakers and investors.' Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley
