Editorial Reviews

"In Asian Imperial Banking History edited by Hubert Bonin, Nuno Valerio, and Kazuhiko Yago, the under-appreciated monetary-basis of colonialism is rigorously explored in a collection of seven balanced essays. From the salient assessments of the contributors, scholars of modern world history now possess a new and profitable study on the financial underpinning of empire in both Asia and Africa...Asian Imperial Banking History constitutes a significant contribution to the study of empire before and after the turn of the century." - Jeff Roquen, LSE Review of Books
