Money and Banking in the UK (RLE

Focusing on the evolution of monetary history, the book explores domestic commercial banking, monetary policy, and the UK's international financial position over 160 years. It is divided into three parts: the rise of the UK's economic power from 1826 to 1913, the disruption of traditional monetary systems between 1914 and 1939, and the re-establishment of state influence in money markets from 1939 to 1986, highlighting the shift toward government-managed economic policies post-World War II.
