Více o knize

The book analyzes key developments in monetary history across three significant periods: from 1826 to 1913, when the UK became a global economic leader; from 1914 to 1939, which saw a shift in traditional monetary systems; and from 1939 to 1986, marked by increased state influence in domestic money markets following World War II. It explores the evolution of domestic commercial banking, monetary policy, and the UK's international financial position, providing a comprehensive understanding of the changing landscape of monetary governance over 160 years.
