This is the first comprehensive overview of British banking and finance since 1800. Many controversies surround the banks and capital markets in this crucial period for the British economy. In tracing the growth and consolidation of different sectors - clearing banks, merchant banks, venture capital funds, building societies, and the stock market - Coopey confronts major debates about the relationship between finance, industry and trade and the historic role of government institutions, including the Treasury and Bank of England
