Book excerpt: As well as tracing the development of foreign-exchange markets and the history of trading blocs, the book also examines how economic powers such as Britain and France used access to capital to wield power in less-developed parts of the world, Finally, Allen surveys the history of financial crises to show how economic shocks reverberate from one country to another today through a network constructed over more than two centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
