'... consistently well written ... This book is exceptional in the clarity of the prose and the breadth of coverage ... the collection will be particularly useful to provide easily understood surveys on the topics for postgraduate teaching as well as showing different research methodologies and approaches.'

'It covers much more ground than the twentieth century and is really about the international monetary system since it began in the middle of the nineteenth century.' History

Book Description
The essays in this book examine the long history of the international financial system in terms of the current debate about globalization and its limits. In the nineteenth century, international markets existed without international institutions. In the interwar years, attempts (largely unsuccessful) at designing a genuine international trade and monetary system were made at the same time (coincidentally) that the system collapsed. In the post-1945 era, the intended design effort was infinitely more successful. The development of large international capital markets since the 1960s, however, increasingly frustrated attempts at international control.
