Though the majority of merchant bankers remained cautious in their affairs, Huth & Co established an impressive global network of trade and lending, dealing with over 6,000 correspondents in more than seventy countries. Based on archival research, this comparative study provides a new chronology of early nineteenth-century commercial and financial expansion.Huth & Co. were truly market-makers and key intermediaries of commodities and capital flows in the international economy. This is an important example of a firm shaping globalisation well before the transport and communication revolution of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. But rather than a case study, this is a comparative study concerned with the commercial and financial activities of the leading merchant-bankers of the periodThis book will be of great interest to business and economic historians interested in the nature of the early decades of the first globalization."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aMerchant banks$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aBanks and banking$zGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xCommerce$xHistory 615 0$aMerchant banks$xHistory. 615 0$aBanks and banking$xHistory. 676 $a332.1/540941 700 $aLlorca-Jan?a$b Manuel$f1975-,$01649174 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808188103321 996 $aThe globalization of merchant banking before 1850$93997788 997 $aUNINA
