Summary of John Goddard & John O. S. Wilson's Banking
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 A bank is an institution that accepts deposits from savers, extends loans to borrowers, and provides a range of other financial services to its customers. Banks are a central part of the modern financial system. #2 The global financial crisis of 2007–9 was a rude awakening for many commentators who had believed that modern, technologically sophisticated banks would always be able to provide ample finance for borrowers seeking to invest. #3 The first banknotes were issued by the Bank of England in 1694. The population of small private banks increased in the 18th century, but many lacked the resources to withstand financial shocks. Legislation passed in 1826 granted banknote-issuing powers to private banks with more than six partners headquartered outside a 65-mile radius of London. #4 The year 1844 saw the establishment of a banking code, which detailed the governance, management, and financial reporting of banks. This led to the case for shareholder banks to be granted limited liability status and brought under the wings of general joint stock company law.
Banking
Banks are of central importance for economic growth, the allocation of capital, competitiveness, and financial stability.

The Life of John Wilson, D.D. F. R. S
Excerpt from The Life of John Wilson, D.D. F. R. S: For Fifty Years Philanthropist and Scholar in the East When, a year ago, I was asked by his son to go over the voluminous papers and write the life of Dr. Wilson of Bombay, I at once sacrificed other engagements to the duty. As Editor of the Calcutta Review for some time before the Mutiny of 1857, and as Editor of The Friend of India and Correspondent of The Times for many years after it, I was called to observe and occasionally to discuss the career of the Philanthropist and Scholar of Western India. For forty-seven years as a public man and a missionary he worked, he wrote, he spoke, and in countless ways he joyfully toiled for the people...

The Handbook of Post Crisis Financial Modelling
The 2008 financial crisis was a watershed moment which clearly influenced the public's perception of the role of 'finance' in society. Since 2008, a plethora of books and newspaper articles have been produced accusing the academic community of being unable to produce valid models which can accommodate those extreme events. This unique Handbook brings together leading practitioners and academics in the areas of banking, mathematics, and law to present original research on the key issues affecting financial modelling since the 2008 financial crisis. As well as exploring themes of distributional assumptions and efficiency the Handbook also explores how financial modelling can possibly be re-interpreted in light of the 2008 crisis.
