Reviews

Kazuhiko Yago, one of the most 'Europeanised' Japanese scholars, benefited from a grant (Suntory Foundation) which helped him delve into the archives of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) (organised by Piet Clement) and of a few central banks. His book does not compete with Gianni Toniolo's overall history commissioned by the BIS ... or with the papers delivered by either Toniolo or Clement. Nevertheless, it makes a contribution to the construction of the history of the BIS and to that of the cooperation between central banks, in Europe and across the Atlantic, and its bibliography, collected in the endnotes, serves as a toolkit in its own right... -Financial History Review, Volume 21, Issue 02, 2014
