New special issue on Finance, Investment and Risk   Edited by Jane Humphries and Steve Hindle The articles collected in this special issue are concerned with aspects of financial organisation, investment funding and risk management, subjects which have long interested economic historians. The articles explore the periodic excesses of financial markets and the causes of bank failure, the extent to which financial markets and clever financial instruments serve the economy and society or merely transfer wealth to distinct social and geographical elites, and, the transmission mechanisms from the world of finance to the real economy. Several contributions make connections to the debate about the City's role in British economic performance and to broader themes linking finance capital's power and influence to imperial expansion.
