Decision Taking, Confidence and Risk Management in Banks from Early Modernity to the 20th Century

About this book

This book offers 14 contributions that examine key questions in bank decision-taking, constitution of confidence in banks and risk management practices from Early Modernityto the twentieth century. It explores how the various mechanisms of bank decision takingchanged over time. Chapters also analyse the types of risk management techniques used, thecontributory factors to the constitution of confidence and the methods that banking historianscan use to analyse and describe bankers´ risk management and decision taking - from systemtheory to behavioural finance, new institutional economics to praxeology and conventiontheory to network analysis. The different methodological approaches are put to the test incase studies based on archive material from four hundred years of banking in order to connectbanking history more closely to political and cultural history.
