The State The Financial System And Economic Modernization by Richard Sylla, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

By looking at a wide range of industrialized economies, including England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Argentina, the United States, and "late developers" such as Russia, this book aims to show how important the state was in the development of financial systems. It examines the various factors that contributed to the emergence of diverse financial systems, and through comparative historical analysis draws together general themes, such as the inter-country differences in the mix of public and private finance, to produce a book that makes an unique contribution to financial and economic history. | The State The Financial System And Economic Modernization by Richard Sylla, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
