Summary: The purpose of this book, according to the author, is to describe and explain the influence which the development of the financial sector has had on the British economy from 1880-1962. To do this, David Sheppard has compiled an extensive amount of valuable data on both the assets and liabilities of the key financial institutions: the commercial banks, savings banks, building societies, insurance companies and the Bank of England. In addition he has assembled useful time series of the money supply, and high powered money as well as calculating the proximate determinants of money and its income velocity of circulation. In brief, the book is invaluable as a source book to anyone doing empirical research in the field of British money; in addition it contributes new evidence to the debate over the importance of the role of money in influencing economic activity.
