(Updated edition - July 2023) English for Financial Institutions is an up-to-date textbook that will help readers master the terminology of financial English – and also improve their general English vocabulary. It can be used as a coursebook, a self-study book or reference source (lexicon). The book provides a comprehensive guide to the vocabulary crucial for understanding the financial system (financial institutions, markets and instruments; banking; money and payment; regulation and supervision), rather than narrow and often random selection of topics found in most other financial English books. Thanks to English for Financial Institutions, readers will be able to understand concepts that are often not well explained or hard to find in other publications. No other financial English textbook offers such a wide scope of subject matter, the depth and up-to-date relevance of presented material. It includes developments that have come to the spotlight in recent years, such as cryptocurrencies, mobile payments, the LIBOR scandal, quantitative easing, tax avoidance. English for Financial Institutions includes: - Texts presenting the topic - “Notes” with supplementary lexical or factual information; - “Direct Source Reading” – authentic texts published by public and private financial institutions, allowing readers to become familiar with language used by financial professionals - Different types of financial English and general English vocabulary exercises - Questions and discussion points for the classroom - A key to exercises

Modern credit, developed during the financial revolution of 1620–1720, laid the foundation for England’s political, military, and economic dominance in the eighteenth century. Possessed of a generally circulating credit currency, a modern national debt, and sophisticated financial markets, England developed a fiscal–military state that instilled fear in its foes and facilitated the first industrial revolution. Yet a number of casualties followed in the wake of this new system of credit. Not only was it precarious and prone to accidents, but it depended on trust, public opinion, and ultimately violence. Carl Wennerlind reconstructs the intellectual context within which the financial revolution was conceived. He traces how the discourse on credit evolved and responded to the Glorious Revolution, the Scientific Revolution, the founding of the Bank of England, the Great Recoinage, armed conflicts with Louis XIV, the Whig–Tory party wars, the formation of the public sphere, and England’s expanded role in the slave trade. Debates about credit engaged some of London’s most prominent turn-of-the-century intellectuals, including Daniel Defoe, John Locke, Isaac Newton, Jonathan Swift and Christopher Wren. Wennerlind guides us through these conversations, toward an understanding of how contemporaries viewed the precariousness of credit and the role of violence—war, enslavement, and executions—in the safeguarding of trust.

"While many have examined how economic interests motivate political action, Bruce Carruthers explores the reverse relationship by focusing on how political interests shape a market. He sets his inquiry within the context of late Stuart England, when an active stock market emerged and when Whig and Tory parties vied for control of a newly empowered Parliament. Probing such connections between politics and markets at both institutional and individual levels, Carruthers ultimately argues that competitive markets are not inherently apolitical spheres guided by economic interest but rather ongoing creations of social actors pursuing multiple goals." -- BACK COVER.
