Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the nineteenth century, the foundations of Franceâs banking system were established and refined. This book traces the fierce debate over the principles of banking and the creation of banknotes. The author argues that the concession of the exclusive right to issue banknotes to the Banque de France was the culmination of a battle of ideas, not a matter of accident.
