Product Description
Product Description
This first title from a three-volume work tells the story of the City of London's 19th century ascent to its position as the world's leading financial centre. It details the rise of the merchant banks, the growth of the Stock Exchange, the internationalization of the money market, and the characters behind these developments, such as Nathan Rothschild or Joshua Bates, who consolidated the power of the Barings. It also features financial drama: the burning of the Royal Exchange in 1838; the fortunes made from South American guano; and the Baring Crisis of 1890, when the city's most respected house was rescued by it keenest rival.
