Editorial Reviews

Review

‘Moazzin's study shows the ambiguities of negotiating financial and political interests with great nuance and objectivity. Based on a mountain of qualitative and quantitative archival data, Moazzin manages to unearth the complex nature of transnational financial flows, networks, and their institutional constraints before WWI. Most importantly, he reminds us that the impact of financial globalization failed to produce clear winners and losers in the process.’ Elisabeth Köll, The University of Notre Dame

‘Moazzin’s history of foreign banks and global finance in turn of the 20th century China opens a new chapter in the global history of capitalism. Readers will find in its pages an illuminating engrossing story of the roles of European economic actors in a Chinese history of globalization, and a crucial contextualization of the modern global economic order that takes into account the Chinese view.’ Glenda Sluga, University of Sydney

‘Grounded in detailed research, this history will be valuable for all those interested in engaging with China’s economic development.' George Hong Jiang, LSE Review of Books

'Foreign Banks’ key contributions have less to do with offering alternative models of imperial power and more to do with examining the gritty mechanics of banking. On this front, the analysis is masterful … The meticulous archival work also allows the book to raise compelling questions about state capacity and the governing power of money.' Mary Bridges, Business History

‘… a captivating read, accessible to most audiences, and would make an excellent undergraduate textbook for courses on Chinese economic history … Highly recommended.’ D. Li, Choice

‘A deeply researched history of DAB and its operations in China as well as a study that makes broader points about the integration of China into world financial markets.’ Austin Dean, Journal of Chinese History

‘… an original and important book. … this banking, financial, and commercial adventure still makes for an exciting story. Moazzin, mobilizes the rich available archives to tell this story in detail. He adds intermediate conclusions, in each chapter, and an excellent conclusion that furthers our understanding of the internationalization of banks and firms, and the interweaving of the Euro-Asian economies.’ Hubert Bonin, EH.Net

Book Description

Explores how foreign banks financially connected modern China to international capital markets and the global economy.
