This study explores the evolution and impact of European banking during the 19th century, a transformative period marked by industrialization, imperial expansion, and financial innovation. The research examines how banking institutions adapted to unprecedented economic demands and challenges, such as financing wars, supporting industrial projects, and fostering international trade. Key themes include the emergence of central banking, the rise of joint-stock banks, and the role of cooperative banks in promoting financial inclusion for rural and working-class communities. The complex relationship between finance and empire is analyzed through case studies of institutions such as Barings Bank, Crédit Mobilier, and the Imperial Ottoman Bank, illustrating how European financial systems facilitated colonial expansion and resource extraction while also deepening economic dependencies in colonized regions.
The study also investigates the regulatory responses to recurring financial crises, such as the Panics of 1825, 1847, and 1873, which exposed systemic weaknesses and prompted debates on the role of central banks as lenders of last resort. The contributions of key economic thinkers, including Walter Bagehot, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx, are explored to contextualize shifting perspectives on financial stability, market regulation, and the ethics of capital accumulation. The research further considers how banking intersected with social and political movements, particularly in relation to nationalism and economic sovereignty, as seen in the cases of Italian unification, German industrialization, and Polish resistance to imperial domination.
By drawing on primary sources, including financial records, government reports, and economic treatises, this work reconstructs the intricate networks of power, finance, and policy that defined 19th-century European banking. The study highlights the dual legacy of this eraone of economic modernization and global financial integration, but also one of inequality, crisis, and imperial exploitation. Ultimately, it underscores the enduring relevance of 19th-century financial history for understanding contemporary debates on financial regulation, economic nationalism, and global capital flows.
