"Drawing on a variety of perspectives, the book relates the history of the Bank of England to current debates on British economic, social and urban history, including issues of national identity, mercantile politics and the commercialisation of culture. The book also shows how the building itself has expressed various historical tensions among the Bank's inhabitants and publics: its directors and detractors, its clerks and clientele, its tourists and even its mob attackers."--BOOK JACKET.
