Over the past decade there has been a great flowering of writings concerned with financial and monetary history, and the present four volumes are each excellent examples of the particular sub-species that now flourish in this bed of historical specialism. That edited by Eichengreen and Lindert is a conference volume, that of Wheelock is a revised doctoral thesis and Williamson's is in the classic mould of the historical monograph, whereas Fforde's is a commissioned history.
