This book offers a comprehensive collection of the life histories of early central banks, with storylines that are always informative even if they rarely feature happy endings. The relevance of these narratives is illuminated by a novel conceptual framework that connects the hard lessons of history to the challenges faced by present-day central banks. * William Roberds, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta * A treasure trove for information about early central banking, facts and ideas. * Martin Hellwig,, Max-Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods, University of Bonn * In this compelling historical account of early central banking,Bindseil corrects the popular modern view that the key elements of central banking were only establishedaround the beginning of the twentieth century. He convinces the reader with a fascinating set of examplesof central banking in Europe over the previous four centuries. * Darrell Duffie, Stanford University * In this work of great historical scholarship, Bindseil argues that many of the leading banks in Europe could be properly designated as Central Banks in periods before 1800.In his efforts to overthrow prior conventional assessments of the development of Central Banking, Bindseil has fruitfully revisited and unearthed a wealth of early banking history, and his work should stimulate valuable further discussion of the origins of Central Banking. * Charles Goodhart, London School of Economics * People interested in the drama of modern central banking may be surprised to learn that most of the script was written before 1800.
