Produktbeschreibung

This volume is based on papers given at the 2005 conference of the European Association for Banking and Financial History in Vienna, hosted by the Bank Austria Creditanstalt, successor institution to the Ã-sterreichische Creditanstalt. The theme of the conference and of this volume, centres on a set of historical developments and problems typified in important ways by the long history of the Ã-sterreichische Creditanstalt and its successor organizations, but also opens the way to compare and contrast experiences throughout Central and Western Europe and on other continents.
