Foreign Banks and Global Finance in Modern China
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-009-01694-0 (ISBN)
In this wide-ranging study, Ghassan Moazzin sheds critical new light on the history of foreign banks in late nineteenth and early twentieth century China, a time that saw a substantial influx of foreign financial institutions into China and a rapid increase of both China's foreign trade and its interactions with international capital markets. Drawing on a broad range of German, English, Japanese and Chinese primary sources, including business records, government documents and personal papers, Moazzin reconstructs how during this period foreign banks facilitated China's financial integration into the first global economy and provided the financial infrastructure required for modern economic globalization in China. Foreign Banks and Global Finance in Modern China shows the key role international finance and foreign banks and capital markets played at important turning points in modern Chinese history.
Ghassan Moazzin is Assistant Professor at the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on the economic and business history of modern China. He received his B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge.
