摘要:"Moving Money analyzes the influence of politics on financial systems. Daniel Verdier examines how information asymmetry and economies of scale over time have created a redistributional conflict between large and small banks, and financial centers and their peripheries, and he discusses how governments have tried to arbitrate this conflict. He argues that centralized states have tended to create concentrated, internationalized, market-based, and specialized financial systems, whereas decentralized states have favored dispersed, national, bank-based, and, with a few exceptions, universal systems. Verdier then sets out to uncover the sources, political and economic, of cross-country variation in financial market organization, examining a growing number of OECD countries from 1850 onwards."
