CENTRAL BANKS AND GOLD: HOW TOKYO, LONDON, AND NEW YORK SHAPED THE MODERN WORLD
Book ID/图书代码： 17C00477
English Summary/英文概要： In recent decades, Tokyo, London, and New York have been the sites of credit bubbles of historically unprecedented magnitude. Central bankers have enjoyed almost unparalleled power and autonomy. They have cooperated to construct and preserve towering structures of debt, reshaping relations of power and ownership around the world. In Central Banks and Gold, Simon James Bytheway and Mark Metzler explore how this financialized form of globalism took shape a century ago, when Tokyo joined London and New York as a major financial center.As revealed here for the first time, close cooperation between central banks began along an unexpected axis, between London and Tokyo, around the year 1900, with the Bank of England’s secret use of large Bank of Japan funds to intervene in the London markets. Central-bank cooperation became multilateral during World War I―the moment when Japan first emerged as a creditor country. In 1919 and 1920, as Japan, Great Britain, and the United States adopted deflation policies, the results of cooperation were realized in the world’s first globally coordinated program of monetary policy. It was also in 1920 that Wall Street bankers moved to establish closer ties with Tokyo. Bytheway and Metzler tell the story of how the first age of central-bank power and pride ended in the disaster of the Great Depression, when a rush for gold brought the system crashing down. In all of this, we see also the quiet but surprisingly central place of Japan. We see it again today, in the way that Japan has unwillingly led the world into a new age of post-bubble economics.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 近几十年来，东京、伦敦和纽约的信贷泡沫规模空前。各国央行行长享有几乎无与伦比的权力和自主权。他们合作构建和维护了高耸的债务结构，重塑了世界范围内的权力和所有权关系。在《央行与黄金》一书中，西蒙•詹姆斯•拜瑟韦和马克•梅茨勒探讨了这种全球化的金融化形式是如何在一个世纪前形成的，当时东京、伦敦和纽约已成为主要的金融中心。正如本文首次揭示的那样，各国央行之间的密切合作始于1900年前后伦敦和东京之间一个意想不到的轴心，英国央行秘密使用日本央行的大型基金干预伦敦市场。第一次世界大战期间，当日本第一次成为债权国时，中央银行的合作变成了多边合作。1919年和1920年，随着日本、英国和美国采取通货紧缩政策，合作的成果在世界上第一个全球协调的货币政策方案中得以实现。也是在1920年，华尔街的银行家开始与东京建立更紧密的联系。顺便说一句，梅茨勒讲述了央行权力和骄傲的第一个时代是如何在大萧条的灾难中结束的，当时对黄金的抢购导致了金融体系的崩溃。在所有这一切中，我们也看到了安静但令人惊讶的日本中心。我们今天再次看到，日本不情愿地引领世界进入后泡沫经济时代。（WYL）

"Central Banks and Gold is a game changer. Simon James Bytheway and Mark Metzler convincingly upset conventional interpretations of many issues concerning international finance in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with findings that have profound implications for global financial trends in recent decades."
--Steven J. Ericson, Dartmouth College, author of The Sound of the Whistle: Railroads and the State in Meiji Japan
