Banking in historical perspective
Banking, credit, capitalism, politics and economic development—from the late colonial period to the First World War.
Slow Capitalism in Latin America approaches these subjects through comparative history, challenging simplistic narratives of Latin American failure.
The book places the birth of banking within a longer historical account of the region’s economic development.
