Rondo Cameron – författare

Varför växer vissa ekonomier när andra stagnerar? Detta är en av många frågor som diskuteras i Världens ekonomiska historia. I boken presenterar författarna på ett lättillgängligt sätt den globala ekonomins historiska utveckling från förhistorisk tid till våra dagar. Boken är en klassiker inom området och har översatts till dussintals språk. Denna tredje svenska upplaga har ett vidare globalt perspektiv än tidigare utgåvor. För första gången betonas klimatförändringarna från urtid till nutid och dess effekter på dagens globala ekonomi. Större vikt läggs vid globaliseringens följder runt om i världen och hur olika samhällen reagerat på skiftande vis under seklernas lopp. Utvecklingen av finansiella instrument och betalningsmetoder över tid och i olika samhällen behandlas på ett nytt sätt, och större historiska omvälvningar betonas mera. Världens ekonomiska historia är främst avsedd för studenter på grundnivå i ekonomisk historia och angränsande ämnen vid universitet och högskolor.

This book, the product of a unique international scholarly collaboration sponsored jointly by the American Council of Learned Societies and the Soviet Academy of Sciences, provides a comprehensive survey on international banking from 1870 to 1914. In that period international investment reached dimensions previously unknown, and the banking systems of the world achieved a degree of internationalization without precedent. The book''s authors, twenty-five scholars from fifteen countries, are the acknowledged experts in their fields. They detail the origin and development of internationally oriented banks in each major country, and explain their role in foreign investment and industrial finance. They look at all areas of the world that were involved in international investment, either as investors, recipients of investment, or both. The definitive work on international banking from 1870 to 1914, this book will interest scholars and students in financial and banking history, bankers and economists in the finanical industry, and general historians.
