A History of Interest Rates
The late Sidney Homer published the First Edition of A History of Interest Rates in 1963¿a time when interest rates weren t making front page news¿because he believed that a comprehensive history of this universal and basic economic and commercial price was necessary. More than forty years later, A History of Interest Rates has become a classic in the fields of economics and finance. A History of Interest Rates, Fourth Edition presents a readable account of interest rate trends and lending practices spanning over four millennia of economic history. Filled with in depth insights and illustrative charts and tables, this unique resource provides a broad perspective on interest rate movements¿from which financial professionals can evaluate contemporary interest rate and monetary developments¿and applies analytical tools, such as yield curve averaging and decennial averaging, to the data available. A History of Interest Rates, Fourth Edition offers a highly detailed analysis of money markets and borrowing practices in major economies. It places the rates and corresponding credit forms in context by summarizing the political and economic events and financial customs of particular times and places, including:
