A sharp historical critique of Bank of England governance and the rights of its Proprietors.
This edition presents a detailed examination of how the Bank of England has been run, the laws that guide its management, and the expectations of its stockholders. It focuses on the Governor and Directors, and on the calls for greater transparency, accountability, and fair distribution of profits.
Readers will see a careful argument about legal powers, parliamentary acts, and the tension between discretion and duty in a public financial institution. The text blends historical context with a polemic about profit, dividends, and the responsibilities of both the Bank and its proprietors.
Ideal for readers of financial history and constitutional questions seeking a window into early debates on bank governance and proprietors’ rights.
