Beschreibung
Banking Evolution offers a comprehensive exploration of how rudimentary exchange systems transformed into today's complex global financial networks. It emphasizes the crucial role of financial institutions in shaping economic development and analyzes the historical progression of banking practices. For example, the book highlights how innovations like the development of central banks spurred economic growth while also creating inherent risks of financial instability, such as the 2008 financial crisis.
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with ancient banking practices and moving through the rise of modern banking in Europe to the emergence of global finance. It delves into the evolution of financial markets, including stock exchanges and bond markets, and examines the transformative impact of technology, from ATMs to digital currencies and blockchain technology.
The book uniquely balances the benefits and risks of financial innovation, providing valuable insights into the forces shaping the global economy and addressing ongoing debates about banking regulation.
