The first comparative study of foreign banking in prewar China, the book surveys the impact of British overseas bank notes on China's economy before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Focusing on the two leading British banks in the region, it assesses the favorable and unfavorable effects of the British presence in China, with particular emphasis on Shanghai, and traces instructive links between the changing political climate and banknote circulation volumes.Drawing on recently declassified archival materials, Niv Horesh revises previous assumptions about China's prewar economy, including the extent of foreign banknote circulation and the economic significance of the May Thirtieth Movement of 1925.Yale series in economic and financial history.Banks and banking, BritishChinaHistory19th centuryBanks and banking, BritishChinaHistory20th centuryChinaEconomic conditions1644-1912ChinaEconomic conditions1912-1949ChinaEconomic policy1644-1912ChinaEconomic policy1912-1949Banks and banking, BritishHistoryBanks and banking, BritishHistory330.951035Horesh Niv880429MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780645203321Shanghai's bund and beyond3733312UNINA
