Evolving Financial Markets and International Capital Flows

This study examines the impact of British capital flows on the evolution of capital markets in four countries - Argentina, Australia, Canada, and the United States - over the years 1870 to 1914. In substantive chapters on each country it offers parallel histories of the evolution of their financial infrastructures - commercial banks, non-bank intermediaries, primary security markets, formal secondary security markets, and the institutions that provide the international financial links connecting the frontier country with the British capital market. At one level, the work constitutes a quantitative history of the development of the capital markets of five countries in the late nineteenth century. At a second level, it provides the basis for a useable taxonomy for the study of institutional invention and innovation. At a third, it suggests some lessons from the past about modern policy issues.

This monumental book by Lance Davis and the late Robert Gallman is a valuable tool for the student of the globalization of capital markets. Davis and Gallman expertly analyze the dimensions, institutions, and mechanisms of the massive flow of funds that went from British savers to finance the development of the economies of the nations of new settlement: Argentina, Australia, Canada and the United States, in the Golden Age from 1890-1914. Their main thesis is that institutional innovation to overcome the problems of asymmetric information, manifest in different forms in each of the four capital recipients, was crucial to the successful mobilization of the British capital inflows. This perspective distinguishes this book from its predecessors.

Davis and Gallman have provided a huge compendium of information and analysis. They show how powerful this kind of history is for an understanding of the development of the international capital markets. A brilliant picture.

- Forrest Capie, City University Business School, UK

Lance Davis and the late Robert Gallman have written an outstanding study of the relationship between the importation of British capital by Argentina, Australia, Canada, and the United States - the four countries of new settlement - during 1865-1914 and the accompanying redesign of their domestic financial structures. Individual chapters devoted to the supplier of capital and each of the country demanders enormously expand the scope of our knowledge of both financial markets and international capital flows. The study draws lessons based on the historical evidence, sketches the evolution of the world's financial markets since 1914, and then examines contemporary problems in Japan and developing economies in Latin America and Asia.

- Anna J. Schwartz, National Bureau of Economic Research
