In this treasure trove of a book, Paul Tempest has gathered and edited articles, cartoons and reminiscences (his own and those of numerous others) that, together, provide a valuable insight into the workings of the Bank of England down the ages. Ever a quirky and idiosyncratic organization, the Bank had a way of operating that was entirely its own, and was, argues Tempest, peculiarly successful. This volume uncovers the secret to the morale of the Bank of England, and the esprit de corp that lay at the heart of all it did.
