Sinopsis
Excerpt from English Banking, Its Development and Some Practical Problems It Has to Solve: Three Lectures
There is another point raised by a remark of Mr. Pownall's, on which Sir Edward Holden has frequently laid stress. It is a moot question in my own mind, he says, whether a great bill case is not better than invest ments, and I incline to plump for bills. This is especially true, I think, in regard to the national reserves. The fact that the Bank of England originated in a State loan, and the way in which the indefensible Act of 1844 has set its seal upon the holding of securities in the note reserve, have caused English practice to differ in this respect from the banking tradition of most other great commercial countries. It is a matter which deserves attention.

Excerpt from English Banking, Its Development and Some Practical Problems It Has to Solve: Three Lectures
Mr. Pownall has asked me to write a few words of preface to this issue in printed form of three lectures delivered by him at the London School of Economics last February. Such a request, coming from a colleague and an old friend, it was impossible to refuse. Of course, Mr. Pownall requires no introduction to the men of his own generation who are interested in banking questions; and if he did, he could easily obtain it from more influential quarters. All I propose to do here is to remind younger readers of Mr. Pownall's long services to English banking; and to add a 'few remarks on points in the lectures which have specially interested me, or which have a special bearing on the extraordinary financial situation in which we now find ourselves.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of English banking, examining the rise of Joint Stock Banks and their impact on the private banking system. The author discusses the establishment of the Country Clearing and the importance of using cheques instead of coin and notes, a practice that has minimised the need for gold and notes in the banking system. The text centres on the importance of maintaining sufficient cash reserves to ensure a smoothly functioning system and to control price fluctuation, emphasising the role of the Bank of England as the state department managing the Issue Department. The book argues that the development of the English banking system has been driven by the tremendous growth of English trade and the expansion of its global footprint. The author highlights the significance of the banking system's ability to adapt to changing economic conditions and to facilitate the growth of international trade. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781334243769_0
