Abstract

In 1979 the Centre for Banking and International Finance at City University established an annual Henry Thornton Lecture, in honour of that great monetary economist of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The lectures were also published, for limited circulation, by City University. Subsequently, the first eight lectures in the series were presented in Monetary Economics in the 1980s (1989). The present volume contains the subsequent nine lectures in the series.
