Online resources: Summary: Understanding twenty-first century global financial integration requires a two-part background. The Handbook of Key Global Financial Markets, Institutions, and Infrastructure begins its description of how we created a financially-intergrated world by first examining the history of financial globalization, from Roman practices and Ottoman finance to Chinese standards, the beginnings of corporate practices, and the advent of efforts to safeguard financial stability. It then describes the architecture itself by analyzing its parts, such as markets, institutions, and infrastructure. The contributions of sovereign funds, auditing regulation, loan markets, property rights, compensation practices, Islamic finance, and others to the global architecture are closely examined. For those seeking substantial, authoritative descriptions and summaries, this volume will replace books, journals, and other information sources with a single, easy-to-use reference work. Substantial articles by top scholars sets this volume apart from other information sources Diverse international perspectives result in new opportunities for analysis and research Rapidly developing subjects will interest readers well into the future.Summary: Front cover -- Handbook of Key Global Financial Markets, Institutions and Infrastructure -- Copyright -- Editor-in-Chief -- Section Editors for this volume -- Contents -- Preface -- Contributors -- Section I: Globalization of Finance: An Historical View -- Chapter 1: History of Financial Globalization, Overview -- References -- Chapter 2: Banking Fragility, United States, 1790-2009 -- Introduction -- Banking Fragility in Theory and in Historical Reality -- US Banking Crises: 1790-1933 -- Central Banking and Bank Instability in US History -- Summary of US Historical Experience -- A Worldwide Tale of Two Banking Eras: 1875-1913 and 1978-2009 -- Glossary -- References -- Further Reading -- Chapter 3: Bretton Woods and Monetary Regimes -- Introduction -- Types and Examples of Monetary Regimes -- The Classical Gold Standard -- The Interwar Years, the Gold-Exchange Standard, and the Great Depression -- Bretton Woods and the Anglo-American Compromise -- Conclusion -- Further Reading -- Chapter 4: British Corporate Finance, 1500-1860 -- World in 1500 -- Impact of the Voyages of Discovery -- Emergence of the Joint-Stock Company -- Rise of the Secondary Market in Shares -- War Financing - State and Capital Markets -- Into the Nineteenth Century -- References -- Chapter 5: Chinese Finance, 1348-1700 -- Public and Private Finance in China, 1000-1700 -- The Monetary System -- Public Finance -- Credit and Private Finance -- Summary -- Glossary -- Further Readings -- Chapter 6: Chinese Money and Monetary System, 1800-2000, Overview -- A Conceptual Framework -- 1800-50 -- 1850-1911 -- 1911-30 -- 1930-49 -- Acknowledgments -- Glossary -- References -- Chapter 7: Dutch Bank Finance, 1600-1800 -- An Exchange Bank -- The First Five Decades -- Fiat Money -- Monetary Policy -- Eighteenth Century -- Conclusion -- Further Reading.PPN: PPN: 809976870Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PBE | ZDB-30-PQE
