Description

Explore the evolution of insurance science with A History of British Actuarial Thought by Turnbull. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this work serves as the first book of its kind to trace the development and implementation of actuarial ideas from the mid-18th century through to the start of the 21st century. The text provides a detailed analysis of British actuarial thought across three primary practice areas: life assurance, pensions, and general insurance. It examines how new approaches emerged within these sectors and how these ideas interacted. The book also looks at how external factors, such as economic environment shocks, helped drive these emerging concepts. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of professional finance and the insurance industry.
