Original 1951 Columbia University Press first edition. Bound in black cloth with gilt spine titles and publisher device blind stamped to front board. Includes the scarce original printed dust jacket with publisher advertising and period design. A detailed mid-century study of American banking’s expanding role in international finance following World War II, including foreign investment, currency issues, European recovery, and global economic cooperation.
Siegfried Stern’s work captures a pivotal moment when the United States was redefining its place in the world financial system after the war. Published during the early Cold War and post-Marshall Plan era, this volume documents the transition of American banking from a largely domestic institution into a dominant force in global markets. Signed first editions in original jackets are uncommon.
