Economic Laws and Economic History
In this volume, Charles Kindleberger makes a powerful case against the idea that any one model could be used to unlock the basic secret of economic history. It is essentially an exercise in methodology, addressed to economists and economic historians alike. He argues that too many economists discover a relationship or a uniformity in economic behaviour, develop a model, and use it to explain more than it is capable of, including, on occasion, all economic behaviour. These lectures discuss four 'laws' in economics to show how uniformities can illuminate economic history in particular aspects. They illustrate the view that the economist or economic historian seeking to test analysis against historical data should have a variety of different models, and not just one. The implication is that however scientific and technical the tools, choosing them carefully to fit particular circumstances is itself an art.
Les États-Unis et l'unification monétaire de l'Europe
La monnaie unique est l'une des politiques communes les plus abouties de l'Union européenne. Mais l'unification monétaire n'intéresse-t-elle que l'Europe ? Mieux, en créant l'euro, l'Union européenne n'ambitionnait-elle pas de promouvoir un compétiteur, voire un alter ego, du dollar ? L'objectif de cet ouvrage n'est pas de retracer la genèse de la monnaie unique, mais bien de rechercher comment les États-Unis ont appréhendé l'élaboration de cette politique dans le domaine économique et monétaire. Le rôle des États-Unis dans le processus d'unification monétaire a, en effet, été déterminant. Les analyses des jeux d'acteurs entre les différentes administrations fédérales, en particulier le Département d'État, le Département du Trésor, la Réserve Fédérale mettent en évidence comment les perceptions successives du projet européen sont conditionnées par les évolutions plus générales des politiques de sécurité dans le contexte changeant de la guerre froide mais aussi par les logiques autrement plus réelles des relations commerciales entre l'Europe et les États-Unis.

A Financial History of Western Europe
This is the first history of finance - broadly defined to include money, banking, capital markets, public and private finance, international transfers etc. - that covers Western Europe (with an occasional glance at the western hemisphere) and half a millennium. Charles Kindleberger highlights the development of financial institutions to meet emerging needs, and the similarities and contrasts in the handling of financial problems such as transferring resources from one country to another, stimulating investment, or financing war and cleaning up the resulting monetary mess. The first half of the book covers money, banking and finance from 1450 to 1913; the second deals in considerably finer de...
