With their branch networks and partners, the Florentine banks dominated international monetary transactions of the 15th century. Thanks to their presence in the main commercial centres of the continent, the merchant bankers from Tuscany dominated the cashless processing of large transfers of money from all over Europe to the Roman Curia. Kurt Weissen examines how curia bankers, such as the Alberti and the Medici, connected Germany to this payment system via Bruges and Venice. He analyses the role played by the establishment of branches in Lübeck, Cologne, Basel and Constance and the importance of cooperation with German merchant companies. Die florentinischen Banken beherrschten mit ihren Filialnetzen und Partnern die internationalen Geldgeschäfte des 15. Jahrhunderts. Dank ihrer Präsenz an den wichtigen Handelszentren des Kontinents dominierten die Händler-Bankiers aus der Toskana die bargeldlose Abwicklung der großen Geldtransfers aus ganz Europa an die römische Kurie. Kurt Weissen untersucht, wie Kurienbankiers wie die Alberti und die Medici Deutschland von Brügge und Venedig aus an dieses Zahlungssystem anschlossen. Er zeigt auf, welche Rolle dabei die Gründung eigener Niederlassungen in Lübeck, Köln, Basel und Konstanz spielten und welche Bedeutung Kooperationen mit deutschen Handelsgesellschaften zukam.

Deciphering the European Investment Bank: History, Politics and Economics examines the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union's financial institution and the largest lender and borrower among the International Financial Institutions. Since its establishment in 1958, the EIB has developed without becoming front-page news and has remained highly invisible. By putting together 14 chapters that analyze topical and meaningful moments and aspects of the bank, this edited book offers the first comprehensive analysis of its origins and its evolution in terms of its mandate, governance, structures, policy activity, and performance. Written by acknowledged experts from various disciplines, the chapters weave together history, economics, law, and political science to provide a multidisciplinary examination and capture the complexity of the EIB. The book is a timely initiative for understanding the EIB, whose role has been ever increasing for contributing to the recent global economic challenges, including the economic and financial crisis, climate change, and COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters are written at a level which will be comprehensible to undergraduates in economics, history, and international political economy. It will also be a valuable source of reference for academics, policy makers, bankers, and other practitioners interested in regional development banks and their role in the global economy.
