Forex Forever: The City of London and the Foreign Exchange Market since 1850
Private Banking in Europe: Rise, Retreat, and Resurgence
Golden Age, 1815–1870
The period from 1815 to 1870 was private bankers’ golden age and is discussed in this chapter. Banking activities expanded while competition from the nascent joint stock banks was very limited. The leading houses, above all Rothschild and Baring, established themselves, raising loans for European states and Latin America, primarily in London, and played a part, along with other private bankers, in providing the liquidity that enabled internationa…

Anciennes et nouvelles aristocraties: De 1880 à nos jours
Sans rien ignorer des spécificités de différentes aristocraties, anciennes et nouvelles, et des groupes qui les constituent, les auteurs de cet ouvrage tentent plutôt de les confronter, de rechercher les caractères communs qui les soudent, les différences qui les séparent et, plus encore, les fondements de clivages souvent ambigus entre aristocrates et non-aristocrates. Leur ambition est tout à la fois de présenter des études de cas précises réal…
Capitals of Capital: A History of International Financial Centres 1780–2005
International financial centres have come to represent a major economic stake. Yet no historical study has been devoted to them. Professor Cassis, a leading financial historian, attempts to fill this gap by providing a comparative history of the most important centres that constitute the capitals of capital - New York, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Zurich, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore - from the beginning of the industrial age up to the pre…
Globalisation, entreprises et identité européenne
Big Business in Europe's Economy and Society
The rise of big business is one of the most important phenomena of the twentieth century. This article reflects on its role in Europe's economy and society. Four aspects are given particular attention. The first concerns the extent to which big business can be considered as a European (as opposed to a US) phenomenon. The second considers the balance between common European characteristics (persistence of family ownership, extent of state involvem…
Y a-t-il eu convergence des economies europeennes depuis 1945
Cet article s'interroge sur la realite et l'etendue de la convergence entre les economies europeennes depuis 1945 a la lumiere des travaux recents sur le sujet. Il se penche plus particulierement sur les niveaux de productivite et de revenu, dont la convergence est la plus evidente et pour l'essentiel achevee au debut des annees 1970 ; et sur les structures economiques et plus generalement l'organisation capitaliste des pays europeens (developpem…

Les grandes entreprises europeennes au 20e siecle
Major European companies in the 20th century, Youssef Cassis. It is difficult to avoid the temptation of ranking the major companies when making a comparative analysis. While such an approach can be useful by pointing out the differences and simplifying the comparative work, it accentuates the divergences to the detriment of convergences observable over the long term, nationally as well as world wide. The example of the behavior of French, Englis…
Management and Business in Britain and France: The Age of the Corporate Economy
For generations, the uneasy relationship between Britain and France has captured the popular and scholarly imagination. Comparative studies between the two countries abound, from political systems to eating habits: hitherto they have not extended to business history. There is now growing interest in comparative business systems, practices, and performance. In these areas comparison with America, Germany, or Japan have taken precedence. This volum…

Banque et industrie en Grande-Bretagne et en Allemagne 1870-1939
Cet article compare les relations entre banque et industrie en Angleterre et en Allemagne de 1870 à 1939. Les deux systèmes sont en général présentés comme deux modèles opposés : la banque de dépôts en Grande-Bretagne et la banque mixte en Allemagne. L’article s’interroge sur la validité de l’opposition entre les deux modèles. Après un rappel des principes directeurs de chacun des deux systèmes, il examine les controverses qui continuent à entour…
Financial Elites in Three European Centres: London, Paris, Berlin, 1880s–1930s
Bankers and financiers have rarely been included in the discussions on entrepreneurs, or on the relationship between banking and economic development. This article compares London, Paris and Berlin as financial centres between the 1880s and the 1930s. It then considers the socio-professional position of bankers and financiers in these three centres, and shows that London offered greater opportunities than Berlin for the operations of individual f…

Capitalism in a Mature Economy charts the development of the City as the undisputed financial centre of the world in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, reflecting Britain's dominant position in the world economy. The book focuses on four inter-related themes: the development and operations of English capital markets including the stock exchange and the clearing and merchant banks, the financing of British industry, the role of…
