Description

Explore the long and colorful history of central banking through this academic work from Oxford University Press. While many believe central banking emerged only in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries, this book examines the era before 1800 to draw important lessons for modern financial debates. Readers will learn how central banks functioned through the issuance of high-quality money and how they varied in practice. The text covers different forms of money, such as deposits and banknotes, and examines diverse asset mixes including precious metals, loans to private debtors, and financial claims to the government. It also investigates the ownership structures of these institutions, comparing public entities to those held by private shareholders. This book provides a detailed look at the evolution of monetary systems and the diverse roles central banks played in early history.
