The Global Bankers

Meer over het boek

An interesting and illuminating perspective on global banking as it was carried out on the eve of the 1990s from its three continental centers: New York, London, and Tokyo, The Global Bankers deals with each of these regions separately, tracing the international development of the markets and highlighting the principal distinctions and the most important and topical features of each. It examines innovative developments in European finance beginning with the rise of the Eurobond market and including the free-market reconstruction of the London stock exchange and the surprising resurgence of pragmatic capitalism in socialistic Europe. Focus is also given to the internationalization of finance in the United States and the financial ways of the wily Japanese.
