N1  - A banking view of developments from the Radcliffe Report to the monetary reforms of 1971, comprising articles selected from the Midland Bank Review; "Distributed in the USA by Harper & Row Publishers Inc., Barnes & Noble Import Division."; Includes bibliographical footnotes and index
N2  - This volume consists of articles, selected from the Midland Bank Review over a period extending from the publication of the Radcliffe Report to the introduction of Competition and Credit Control in 1971, with a preliminary introduction by J. E. Wadsworth who was Editor for most of the time. This is to be welcomed because, although many of the articles are available elsewhere, there is much to be said for having the complete menu at hand. The selected articles are grouped in three principal sections: banking and credit policy, London's markets for money, and the annual monetary surveys from 1959 to 1971. These sections are supplemented by a final section of approximately 80 pages which is composed of six appendices. These cover such diverse matters as monetary chronology 1959-71, monetary documents such as the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Letters of Intent to the International Monetary Fund in 1967 and 1969, banking structure and statistical series and
charts. The latter include general economic indicators, the balance of payments and government finance as well as banking
