By Harold James

Published July 21, 2021

This authoritative guide explores a revolution in monetary and economic policy: how the Bank of England eschewed tradition to accommodate a newly internationalized financial and economic system. James vividly outlines significant historical developments in U.K. monetary policy, but also reckons with contemporary issues — for instance, shedding light on the origins of growing backlash against globalization and the European Union.
