  • Product Description

    This book describes the working methods of the various departments of the Bank of England and their development in the years 1930 to 1960, a period of unparalleled change for the Bank. It is based on the Bank's own archives and material, to which the author has had unrestricted access and which have been previously unpublished. In addition to covering the functions of the Bank, the book also details the daily life of the clerks in the various departments, the modernization of their working methods--from handwritten ledgers to computers, the gradual improvement of the position of women, and the role played by the Bank in helping newly developed countries to set up their own central banks.
