Description

This book focuses on the international banking revolution of the 1960s and provides a fresh historical perspective on the foundations of the subsequent financial globalization. The contributors address four main issues: the revival of London as a world financial centre; the emergence of Euro-banking as a new frontier of growth for credit institutions; the competitive challenge brought home by American banks to their European counterparts; and the strategic response by British and Continental banks.

Readership: Economic, business, and banking historians; historians and political scientists with an interest in international economic relations; professional researchers/analysts in banking and financial economists
