Summary "The Money Market" by F. Straker is a detailed examination of the history and development of England's banking system, written in the early 20th century. It delves into the evolution of banking practices in England, tracing their origins from bartering to modern financial transactions, while emphasizing the pivotal role played by institutions like the Bank of England. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in economics, financial history, and the intricacies of banking systems. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the foundational aspects of banking in England, noting how the Money Market influences all aspects of daily life, regardless of social status. Straker introduces the historical context, tracing banking origins back to early trade practices and highlighting significant milestones, such as the establishment of the Bank of England and the impact of key players like goldsmiths and Jewish merchants. This foundation establishes a narrative that connects historical banking practices to the functioning of the modern monetary system in London. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
