Título : British Imperialism and the Making of Colonial Currency Systems Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Wadan Narsey ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XV, 356 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-55318-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Finance--History Africa History Asia Great Britain Imperialism Financial African Asian of and Ireland Colonialism Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Based on archival research covering more than two centuries and most former British colonies (West Indies, India, Singapore, Malaya, West Africa and East Africa), this book is a revisionist history of the British imperial manipulations of colonial currency systems to facilitate the rise of sterling to world supremacy via the gold standard, and to slow its eventual decline after World War II. Britain forcibly replaced international currencies, including gold and sterling itself, by new localised silver currencies, backed by gold and sterling reserves in London, under the total control of the British Treasury and the powerful influence of the Bank of England. Ignoring colonial needs, imperial decision-makers continuously over-ruled colonial governments, commercial interest in colonies (British and local), Colonial Office and the Crown Agents, to support liquidity in the London Money Market, convertibility of sterling, export of British capital, and cheap readily available finance for the British Government. Academia, including Keynes and institutions like the London School of Economics, are shown to have played supporting roles. This book is valuable reading for academics and students interested in theories of imperialism, colonial underdevelopment, money (national and international) and related topics such as currency areas and exchange rates. Its comprehensive index links monetary concepts to actual events in the British Empire, with pointers to new research areas. This account of the rise and fall of sterling as a world currency may have lessons for the future trajectories of the US dollar, Euro, Chinese renminbi and the Indian rupee En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137553188 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42035 British Imperialism and the Making of Colonial Currency Systems [documento electrónico] / Wadan Narsey ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - London : Palgrave Macmillan UK : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016 . - XV, 356 p : online resource. - (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance) .

Título : Credit and Trade in Later Medieval England, 1353-1532 Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Richard Goddard ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XV, 277 p. 8 illus., 2 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-48987-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Trade Business Commerce Finance--History Accounting Great Britain History Europe History-476-1492 Social history Financial of Medieval and Ireland Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book challenges the notion that economic crises are modern phenomena through its exploration of the tumultuous 'credit-crunch' of the later Middle Ages. It illustrates clearly how influences such as the Black Death, inter-European warfare, climate change and a bullion famine occasioned severe and prolonged economic decline across fifteenth century England. Early chapters discuss trends in lending and borrowing, and the use of credit to fund domestic trade through detailed analysis of the Statute Staple and rich primary sources. The author then adopts a broad-based geographic lens to examine provincial credit before focusing on London's development as the commercial powerhouse in late medieval business. Academics and students of modern economic change and historic financial revolutions alike will see that the years from 1353 to 1532 encompassed immense upheaval and change, reminiscent of modern recessions. The author carefully guides the reader to see that these shifts are the precursors of economic change in the early modern period, laying the foundations for the financial world as we know it today Nota de contenido: Chapter 1) The Statute Staple and Trade Finance in Later Medieval England -- Chapter 2) Merchants and Trade -- Chapter 3) Boom and Bust: Patterns of Borrowing in Later Medieval England -- Chapter 4) The Geography of Recession: Provincial Credit in Later Medieval England -- Chapter 5) London: The Commercial Powerhouse -- Chapter 6) Conclusions En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-48987-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=41979 Credit and Trade in Later Medieval England, 1353-1532 [documento electrónico] / Richard Goddard ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - London : Palgrave Macmillan UK : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016 . - XV, 277 p. 8 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource. - (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance) .
