This important new reference work constitutes the first comprehensive collection of writings on the major financial centres of the world. Publication is timely in view of the moves to European financial integration, the dynamic rise of new centres, particularly in the Asia–Pacific region, and the challenges to existing centres.
Critical Acclaim
‘. . . a splendid collection. It will remain for long the authoritative compilation in the field.’
– Nigel Harris, Development Policy Review

‘This four volume set contains an impressive collection of 100 papers on international financial centres reprinted in their original format with useful editorial introductions and name and place indexes to each volume. . . . the collection is to be welcomed, both in its own right and as an outstanding resource base for research in this area.’
– David Cobham, Economic Journal

‘Richard Roberts has performed an enormously valuable service to scholarship in drawing these four volumes together. The range of sources upon which he has drawn is impressive in both the spatial and the intellectual senses. . . . it took an economic historian of Richard Roberts’ stature to compile this collection. He has accomplished an enormous task.’
– Charles W. Munn, Business History
