تاريخ النظام المالي العالمي

This book traces the evolution of the highly integrated global financial system from 1750 to the present. It examines the corporate form of business organization in the 18th century that saw an explosion of growth in the 19th, which facilitated the international movement of capital. The author also deals with the parallel growth of financial markets and explains how the need to finance public debts paved the way for stock markets as well as outlining the role of private merchant bankers, who originated as international bankers with family-run offices across Europe. He charts the development of banks into public corporations and follows the evolution of modern paper money, explaining the emergence of institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. While tracing the development of foreign-exchange markets and the history of trading blocs, the book also examines how economic powers such as Britain and France used access to capital to wield power in less-developed parts of the world. Finally, a history of financial crises is presented, revealing how economic shocks reverberate from one country to another today through the global financial network.

Batı'nın finansal tarihini 250 sayfaya sığdırmış. Doğal olarak çok hızlı bir özet olmuş. Finansal tarihi genel bir özet olarak okumak bakımından iyi bir kitap, ancak daha derin araştırmalar için yetersiz. Kitabın ikinci dezavantajı 1990'ların sonunda yazılmış olması. Kitapta Yunanistan'ın Euro'ya katılımı bile yok. 2000'lerin teknoloji balonu, 2002-03 ve 2007-08 krizleri de yok doğal olarak. Gene de, paranın tarihini okumak için iyi bir kaynak.

Şirketler, bankacılık, para birimleri, yatırım, ticaret vb konuların tarihleriyle ilgili özet bilgiler var. Nasıl başladılar ve bugünlere nasıl gelindi. Yalnız bizim Türk yayıncı kitaba "Keseden Bankaya Tezgâhtan Borsaya" diye yeni isim koymuş. İsimde terslik var, çünkü kitaptan okuduğumuz kadarıyla kese(purse) borsaya, tezgah(banco) bankaya dönüşmüş.
