This book is concerned with developments in three main areas of monetary history: domestic commercial banking; monetary policy; and the UK's international financial position. For ease of analysis the 160 years under study are arranged into three clear chronological divisons. Part 1 covers the years 1826-1913, a period in which the UK emerged as the world's leading economic power. Part 2 covers 1914 to 1939 - the years which marked a break in the traditional monetary arrangements of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Part 3 covers 1939-1986 when the dominance of state influence within the domestic money markets was re-established by the Second World War and the acceptance by the authorities of the obligation to 'manage' the economy which meant that successive postwar governments took direct responsibility for the conduct of monetary and credit policy.
ONE WOMAN'S QUEST TO REBUILD BRITAIN'S BROKEN BANKING SYSTEM 'If there was ever a business book suitable for TV adaptation, this is it' FT In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash, the British banking industry had come to a standstill. Trust in the sector had been left in tatters and, despite the emergence of technologies which could revolutionise the customer experience, nobody wanted to upset the status quo. That was until Anne Boden decided to do something radical and start her own bank. Founder of Starling Bank, winner of Best British Bank three years running, in this awe-inspiring story Anne reveals how she broke through bureaucracy, successfully tackled prejudice to realise her vision for the future of consumer banking and revolutionised the entire industry forever. ***ONE OF THE TIMES TOP 5 BEST BUSINESS BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2020*** 'A banking blockbuster' The Observer Magazine 'Sent shockwaves through the tight-knit world of UK tech and venture capital' Yahoo Finance
