Sinossi

Origins of Banking explores the evolution of financial institutions, tracing their development from ancient storage systems to today’s complex global networks. It reveals how banking, far from being a series of isolated events, is a continuous response to societal needs for trade, resource management, and economic growth. Intriguingly, early forms of banking involved temples and landowners acting as safe havens for valuables, highlighting the deep historical roots of financial stewardship.

 
The book sheds light on the rise of private banking during the Roman Empire, where services like money lending and currency exchange first emerged. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece, moving through the Roman Empire, and then focusing on the medieval period with the rise of influential banking families like the Medici. It then concludes with the evolution of modern banking practices like the creation of central banks.

 
By examining archaeological findings, ancient legal codes, and archival records, Origins of Banking provides a fact-based analysis of banking practices and their profound impact on economic history. This comprehensive overview is valuable for students of finance, history, and economics, offering a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our modern financial world.

    On October 12, 1492, one of the most important “first contacts” of the modern era was made when three ships of Spanish origin approached the island archipelago now known as the Bahamas, cautiously dropping anchor as the captain of the fleet gazed across to what he assumed was the coast of India. According to the popular version of the story, amazed at the sight of ships and men of such unfamiliar appearance, the native people of the island plunged into the clear waters of the western Atlantic, expertly swimming or aboard dugout canoes, and came out to greet the strangers. 
    	In all probability, the meeting was much more cautious and incremental, but the idea that these innocent people, raised in a tropical Eden, might embrace with such open enthusiasm their own destruction is picturesque, and no doubt appeals to contemporary perceptions. By whatever means one might choose to view it, this meeting of cultures certainly did mark the beginning of a bold new chapter in the history of Europe, and the beginning of the end of an ancient race of native people occupying a vast new continent.  
    	The entries into Christopher Columbus’ log as he recorded his first encounters with the indigenous people of the “Indies” are very telling. The island people arrived alongside his ships, offering humble gifts that Columbus described as “parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells.” These were the Taínos people, or the “Arawaks” as they would come to be known, and Columbus described them as “well built…with good bodies and handsome features.”  
    	This description, while deceptively simple, had a chilling implication, because Columbus was not taking note of these facts out of idle interest but in terms of how best to exploit them. As the natives offered up gifts aand by implication the freedom of their islands, Columbus remarked simply on their primitive appearance.
