European Banks and the American Challenge Competition and Cooperation in International Banking Under Bretton Woods

This volume concentrates on the international banking revolution of the 1960's and includes a new and important outlook on the groundwork for financial globalization, based on historical perspectives. The four major issues addressed in this book are the revival of London as a strong and competitive world financial center, emergence of Euro-banking as a new benchmark of growth for credit institutions, growing competition between American financial institutions and their global counterparts, and the Strategic response of European and Continental institutions.
