Medici Money
By:Tim Parks
Published on 2013-08-22 by Profile Books

The Medici are famous as the rulers of Florence at the high point of the Renaissance. Their power derived from the family bank, and this book tells the fascinating, frequently bloody story of the family and the dramatic development and collapse of their bank (from Cosimo who took it over in 1419 to his grandson Lorenzo the Magnificent who presided over its precipitous decline). The Medici faced two apparently insuperable problems: how did a banker deal with the fact that the Church regarded interest as a sin and had made it illegal? How in a small republic like Florence could he avoid having his wealth taken away by taxation? But the bank became indispensable to the Church. And the family completely subverted Florence's claims to being democratic. They ran the city. Medici Money explores a crucial moment in the passage from the Middle Ages to the Modern world, a moment when our own attitudes to money and morals were being formed. To read this book is to understand how much the Renaissance has to tell us about our own world. Medici Money is one of the launch titles in a new series, Atlas Books, edited by James Atlas. Atlas Books pairs fine writers with stories of the economic forces that have shaped the world, in a new genre - the business book as literature.

Issues in Money and Banking High quality books Issues in Money and Banking By:George Macesich Published on 2000-01-01 by Greenwood Publishing Group Today's banking systems, from prosperous America to muddled Europe and wobbly Japan, may be in worse shape than is generally assumed. Although large financial institutions face the challenges of the new Euro with confidence, smaller banks are not as well prepared to deal with the world's changing financial scene. While most banks' profits continue to come from lending, many have accepted lesser borrowers, and others have entered businesses, such as asset management, that could become less attractive. Given the pressure on banks to earn more profits and the extra risks they have taken, it behooves us to revisit the key issues in banking. This book casts the ongoing changes in money and banking into perspective. This Book was ranked at 11 by Google Books for keyword Money. Book ID of Issues in Money and Banking's Books is h-...
