Description:

A social and economic history showing how it was possible for the City of London to become all-dominant as Britain's gold-standard reigned across the globe. The dangerously close relationship between finance and politics is explored, together with a portrait of gentlemens' life in the City.

Synopsis:

Between 1890 and 1914 the City of London was all dominant as Britain's legendary gold standard reigned supreme across the globe. Golden Years anatomises an elite at the height of its powers. Combining brilliant scholarship with high entertainment, and drawing on an unparalleled range of original sources, David Kynaston brings the city triumphant into the mainstream of British and world history.
