The Financial History of the Bank for International Settlements - Paperback

by Kazuhiko Yago (Author)

The BIS is a major point of intersection between ideas on currency and credit in the 20th century. This book looks at on neo-liberalism and Wicksellian economic thought. It tries to explore an interrelation between these economic thoughts on the one hand and economic and financial history surrounding the BIS on the other. It also focuses on the people who gathered at the BIS from a prosopographical viewpoint.
