Tell me the truth about Bagehot
After discussion of the lender of last resort before Bagehot, we turn to what Bagehot actually said about the concept, the institutions involved, and appropriate lending terms for the Bank of England in a crisis. We examine the application of “Bagehot principles” in several nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century episodes. By operating through the discount houses in the nineteenth century, the Bank of England was able to focus on the quali…
The Bank of England's profits across 300 years
We have produced a series on the Bank of England's profits from its foundation in 1694 to the present time. This has not been available before. We explain the path of these profits over more than 300 years and account for their changing pattern. We next examine from where the profits derived, first in ‘normal times’, and then seeking, in particular, the impact of wars and financial crises. Other questions are: how much derived from seignorage; to…
Trust, Financial Regulation, and Growth
Money and financial intermediation are important elements in economic growth. Both depend heavily on trust for their efficient working. In the second half of the twentieth century, trust was eroded and even broke down. Regulation replaced it. The welfare costs grew, and economic growth was damaged. The opposite happened in the move from mercantilism in the eighteenth century to small government and sound money in the nineteenth century. Growth wa…

Financial crisis, contagion, and the British banking system between the world wars
In a globalised world, when financial crisis strikes, can countries which are well-integrated into the world financial system escape? Recent experience suggests not. In the early 1930s, Britain's openness at the centre of the world financial system left it vulnerable, particularly to the central European financial crisis. Yet there was no financial crisis in Britain in 1931, rather an exchange-rate crisis, and sterling left the exchange-rate regi…

Taste, Trade, and Technology
I thought I might discover what spam was, in an earlier meaning, by reading this book, but I was disappointed. It does not feature, though pretty well everything else does. The book has both a good and an accurate title. But it is the sub-title that directs attention to its subject; it is about the meat industry, which can sound less than appealing. Yet the world-wide meat industry is, and has for long been, important in many ways and of some sig…
Capital in British banking, 1920–1970
British banks have long attached great importance to capital. Currently they are subject to greater scrutiny and regulation on this issue than ever before. However, it was not until the disclosure of 'hidden reserves' in 1970 that a true picture of British banks' capital emerged. This article uses archival evidence to reveal the capital ratios of several major banks for much of the twentieth century, and demonstrates how these ratios were influen…

Price Controls in War and Peace
Price controls are a very old means of trying to contain inflation. In Britain they were used in the Second World War and again in the 1960s. On the first occasion they seemed to work quite well though there were other factors involved—notably rationing. The second episode was not successful. Rationing seems to have been crucial

Organisational Control and English Commercial Bank Lending to Industry in the decades before World War I
Los años 1880–1914 fueron de crecimiento institucional y de sistemática consolidación en el sector bancario inglés. A principios del siglo XIX se produjeron una serie de crisis que afectaron seriamente a los bancos de Inglaterra y Gales. Una de sus consecuencias fue generar preocupación sobre la liquidez de los bancos, planteándose simultáneamente interrogantes sobre la adecuada composición de los créditos al sector privado. El artículo examina l…
Banks, Industry and Finance, 1880–1914
This article uses contemporary business records to provide the first authoritative empirical breakdown of the general characteristics of English commercial bank lending to industrial firms in the three and a half decades before the First World War. The results confirm that the bulk of commercial bank support for industry was in the form of short-term credit. In particular, the overdraft system was operated in such a way as to provide industrial c…
The Future of Central Banking
This volume contains two major papers prepared for the Bank of England's Tercentenary Symposium in June 1994. The first, by Forrest Capie, Charles Goodhart and Norbert Schnadt, provides an authoritative account of the evolution of central banking. It traces the development of both the monetary and financial stability concerns of central banks, and includes individual sections on the evolution and constitutional positions of 31 central banks from …

The Future of Central Banking
Industrial Lending by English Commercial Banks, 1860s–1914
English commercial banks have suffered severe criticism for their alleged failure to support industrial activity, to provide 'industrial finance'. They are said to compare unfavourably with their European counterparts. In this article we explore this issue by examining how in the years before 1914 these banks treated loan applications from industrialists, specifically analysing the extent of refusals and the reasons given for refusals. The result…

Makers of Fortune
So many businesses rose and fell in 19th-century Auckland that the city was called a graveyard of enterprise. By far the most serious and general collapse came during the decade of depression and banking crises which overtook the whole colony after 1885. Auckland's commercial elite, which had dominated the city's business for a generation and had launched some of New Zealand's most important financial institutions, was discredited. Some of its me…

The Money Adjustment Process in the United Kingdom, 1870-1914
Any analysis of money in late nineteenth-century Britain has been handicapped to some extent by deficiencies in the available data. We believe we have now remedied many of the deficiencies and can therefore proceed with greater confidence to an investigation of the monetary sector. In this paper we explore the money adjustment process, drawing on the monetary data base that we have built and using recently developed econometric techniques. This p…
