Notes:
Reassesses the extent of capital exports from Britain and the need of selected European countries and the USA for foreign [British] capital. Comprised almost entirely of case studies of France, Russia, Austria and neighbours, Spain and the USA. Largely based on the writer's use of the archives of Baring Brothers. See also the writer's unpublished history of Barings: 'Sixth Great Power in Europe. The Barings in high finance, 1763-1870', 1977, from which the chapters in this book are derived.
