Asian Imperial Banking History

When European powers annexed parts of Asia, banking systems were an important part of that process. The essays in this edited collection are based on original research using primary sources in English, French, Russian, Chinese and Japanese. The book as a whole provides new insights into banking in imperial Asia and a platform for further research.

Report

"In Asian Imperial Banking History edited by Hubert Bonin, Nuno Valerio, and Kazuhiko Yago, the under-appreciated monetary-basis of colonialism is rigorously explored in a collection of seven balanced essays. From the salient assessments of the contributors, scholars of modern world history now possess a new and profitable study on the financial underpinning of empire in both Asia and Africa...Asian Imperial Banking History constitutes a significant contribution to the study of empire before and after the turn of the century." - Jeff Roquen, LSE Review of Books
