Overview

London and Paris, the world's two leading financial centers in the nineteenth century, experienced differing fortunes during the twentieth century. While London remained an international financial center, Paris' influence declined. Yet over the last twenty years deregulation, internationalization, and the advent of the single currency have reactivated their competition in ways reminiscent of their old rivalry before the First World War.
This book provides a long-term perspective on the development of each centre, with special attention devoted to the pre-1914 years and to the last decades of the twentieth century, in order to contrast these two eras of globalization.
