They will also observe that its novelty lies not so much in its matter as in its theme. It is not that the matter is in any way hackneyed or stale. There are many things in the book which at least one reader found wholly new, and which other and more expert readers may find at least inter­ esting. Yet the principal characteristic of the book is not the information which it contains, but the purposes for which the information is employed. Mr Morgan has set out to do what in the writing of modern economic history has so seldom been done. His study is both historical and theoretical, and though many students before him tried to marry economic history to economic theory, few of them ever achieved the union on Mr Morgan's terms. Economic studies combining theory with history fall, as a rule, into two interrelated groups. They are conceived either as exercises in "applied economics" in which a few historical facts are used to illustrate the few economic theories which are capable of being illustrated; or else as "historical revisions" in which certain well-known episodes of economic history are re-told in terms of modern theory. Examples of the former will be found embedded in most of the better known economic treatises from Adam Smith to Marshall and Keynes. Examples of the latter have been lately produced by economists and historians alike: vide Bresciani-Turoni's book on the German inflation, Rostow's articles on the Great Depression, or Fisher's article on the commercial policy of the Tudors. Mr Morgan attempts none of these things. While his debt to modern economic theory and more especially to Keynes will be obvious to all (and economic theories are an avowed part of his subject) he treats the theories themselves as historical facts and subjects them to historical analysis. At the same time the book is no mere "history of economic doctrine". It pays X EDITORIAL PREFACE an equal if not a greater attention to the banking policies, the monetary changes and the movements of prices, which some­ times influenced theoretical discussion and were often them­ selves affected by contemporary doctrines. The two topics are run on concurrent lines, which often intersect, but are never merged or confused. For the same reasons the book is also something more than an economic history of economic theory. It is not the kind of essay on the economic determinism of economic thought which the Marxists of the older dispensation would like to have written had they known how. The parallel treatment of mone­ tary events and monetary theories reveals not only the con­ nections between the facts- and the theories, but also the occa- . sional gaps between them. Some of the gaps will be noticed in Mr Morgan's treatment of the bank restriction period, for the experiences of the time apparently failed to generate new economic ideas. In the author's own words the period "pro­ duced only a restatement of theories all of which hacl been stated before, and many of which were a century old". Simi­ larly, it does not appear as if the second half of the nineteenth century, and more especially the period between the Bank Charter Act and the passing of the Great Depression-an epoch of great changes in prices, great developments of invest­ ment, and at least two complete business cycles-witnessed any great or illuminating departures in monetary theory. In these fifty-odd years Mill and Marshall produced their great syntheses of economic doctrine, and Jevons very nearly revolu­ tionised the theory of value. Yet the theory of money, prices, credit and business cycles made relatively little progress in spite of continuous accumulation of highly relevant evidence. Giffen's essays, Jevons's index number, Bagehot's description of the money market, and Newmarch' s history of prices were perhaps the only specialised writings on currency worth Mr Morgan's commendation, and yet even they were out of scale, and per­ haps even out of touch, with the lessons of capitalist finance in the most b~isterous and turbulent stages of its growth. To his own credit and to his readers' edification Mr Morgan does EDITORIAL PREFACE xi not fail to note the "autonomous" phases in the development of economic thought, and from this point of view few passages in the book are more suggestive than those dealing with the genesis of the controversy between the banking and the cur­ rency schools.

Bagehot for Central Bankers Laurent Le Maux* Working Paper No. 147 February 10th, 2021 ABSTRACT Walter Bagehot (1873) published his famous book, Lombard Street, almost 150 years ago. The adage “lending freely against good collateral at a penalty rate” is associated with his name and his book has always been set on a pedestal and is still considered as the leading reference on the role of lender of last resort. Nonetheless, without a clear understanding of the theoretical grounds and the institutional features of the British banking system, any interpretation of Bagehot’s writings remains vague if not misleading—which is worrisome if they are supposed to provide a guideline for policy makers. The purpose of the present paper is to determine whether Bagehot’s recommendation remains relevant for modern central bankers or whether it was indigenous to the monetary and banking architecture of Victorian times.

Although the Bank of England was, during the period examined in this contribution, a privately- owned and privileged company, its money market operations (at least from 1873 onward) are always interpreted as the gradual adaption of the duties of a modern central bank, including the role as the »bankers’ bank«. The fact that it was also in com- petition with discount houses and commercial banks on the money market is, however, largely neglected. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this article analyses the Bank of England operations under the rationale of a utility-maximising institu- tion which had to hide that its principal business objectivewasahighandstabledividend.
