Keith Hollender, Financing The World, Spink, London 2017, pp. 169, richly illustrated in colour, 27 cm, full cloth binding with gilt titles on the spine and dust jacket.

Dedicated to the history of finance, the work offers a broad interpretation of the economic processes that helped shape the modern world. The narrative begins with the age of early industrialization, moving through the recurring stock market crises, and clearly and thoughtfully presents the dynamics of innovation, speculation, and fraud that accompanied the birth of contemporary finance. Particular emphasis is placed on "financial paper"—bonds and stock certificates of superb typography—not only as a means of raising capital, but also as historical evidence and a collector's item. Ample space is devoted to the formation of collections, with examples of securities signed by famous and controversial figures in economic history.
