Remote investing in Latin America, 1869–1929
Substantial amounts of British capital flowed to Latin America during the first era of globalization. Companies financed by this capital were typically headquartered in the United Kingdom, but operated thousands of miles away. This paper asks how this geographic separation between governance and business activities affected the valuation of these firms. We show that companies headquartered in London and operating in Latin America did not outperfo…
Was freedom road a dead end? Socio‐economic effects of Reconstruction in the American South
We investigate how Reconstruction affected Black socio‐economic advancement after the American Civil War. We use the location of federal troops and Freedmen's bureau offices to indicate more intensive federal enforcement of civil rights. We find that Black people made greater socio‐economic advances where Reconstruction was more rigorously enforced, and that these effects persisted at least until the early twentieth century, although these advanc…
Revising 'Bloody foreigners
Leslie Hannah argues, among other things, that the series on par value of UK-listed equities that I presented in an article published in the Economic History Review in 2015 is deeply flawed. Although I would quibble with some of Hannah's points, his main conclusion is correct: many of the series in 'Bloody foreigners!' are, in fact, flawed and require substantial revision. In this note, I explain the source of the errors and the steps I have take…
The Oxford Handbook of Banking and Financial History
The financial crisis of 2008 aroused widespread interest in banking and financial history among policy makers, academics, journalists, and even bankers, in addition to the wider public. References in the press to the term ‘Great Depression’ spiked after the failure of Lehman Brothers in November 2008, with similar surges in references to ‘economic history’ at various times during the financial turbulence. In an attempt to better understand the ma…

Bloody foreigners! Overseas equity on the London Stock Exchange, 1869-1929
This article presents data on quantity, capital gains, dividend yields, and total returns of domestic and overseas equities listed on the London Stock Exchange during 1869-1929. Indices are presented for Africa, Asia, Australia (including New Zealand), Europe, Latin America, and North America (as well as for the UK), and for the finance, transportation, raw materials, and utilities sectors in each region. Returns and volatility were typically hig…
Contingent capital and bank risk-taking among British banks before the First World War1
The recent financial turmoil highlights the incentive of highly leveraged financial institutions to take excessive risk, given the protection of limited liability. During the nineteenth and early twentieth century, many banks operated under liability rules which obligated shareholders to bear larger costs of bank insolvency in the form of contingent, or even unlimited, liability. This article examines the empirical relationship between the size o…
A Call to Conscience
The study of transnational solidarity movements is a relatively new field of historical inquiry. Roger Peace’s recent book is an important contribution to this endeavor. A Call to Conscience examines the US government’s secret war against Nicaragua and the debates within the United States over this policy. This is one of the few works that explores at length the opposition to the Contra War that developed within the United States and the effects …

Solidarity with Sandino
The intervention of the U.S. Marines in Nicaragua in 1926 inspired opposition of two kinds, one against any U.S. intervention and the other specifically aligned with the Nicaraguan guerrillas under Augusto Sandino. These groups succeeded in having limits placed on the war but, by abandoning Sandino at a critical moment, set the stage for the creation of a new pro-U.S. Nicaraguan military that was able to seize power and control Nicaragua without …
The evolution of a national banking market in pre-war Japan
The nation is our mother
This article explores the creation of a nationalist identity in Nicaragua during the guerrilla war of Augusto Sandino against the occupying United States. The social base of Sandino was the mountain peasants of northern Nicaragua; a social sector usually described as unlikely to become the creators and carriers of a national identity. Yet by using a gendered and familial discourse, which described Nicaragua as the 'madre patria' (mother homeland)…

The Shoe That Didn't Drop
This article attempts to account for the exceptional stability exhibited by the banking systems of Britain, Canada, and ten other countries during the Great Depression. It considers three possible explanations of stability—the structure of the commercial banking system, macroeconomic policy and performance, and lender of last resort behavior—employing data from 25 countries across Europe and North America. The results suggest that macroeconomic p…
