520 _aThe 1931 crisis, the culminating point of which was Britain's suspension of the gold standard on 19 September, was one of the turning points in the monetary history of the twentieth century. It forces itself on the historians of almost all financial institutions, and is part of the political history of western Europe. The account that follows does not comprehend every facet of the crisis, but is concentrated on the leading part taken by the Bank of England. The events of these weeks threw a searchlight on the political and international relationships of the Bank, and they jolted it into more conscious searching into its own ends and means.
