内容説明
This book tells the story of Burma's financial system - of its banks, moneylenders and 'microfinanciers' - from colonial times to the present day. It argues that Burma's financial system matters, and that the careful study of this system can tell us something more general about Burma - not least about how the richest country in Southeast Asia at the dawn of the twentieth century, became the poorest at the dawn of the twenty-first. While financial systems and institutions matter in all countries, Turnell argues that they especially count in Burma as events in the financial and monetary sphere have been unusually, spectacularly, prominent in Burma's turbulent modern history. The story of Burma's financial system and its players is one that has shaped the country. It is a dramatic story of interest beyond the confines of economics and development studies.

The definitive history of Burmese financial institutions
2010/10/22
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Dr Turnell's book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand how financial institutions shape economic growth in developing countries, while providing a very different (and arguably much more insightful) perspective on the economic history of Burma. Surprising for a book on this subject, it is an engaging read too.

THE history of Burmese banking
2010/2/22
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Sean Turnell has produced a very interesting book that fills a much needed gap in the literature on Burma. Given the current state of Burma's banks, Burmese financial history might not seem very pertinent, but Turnell shows how the trouble with Burmese finance has led to many of the current political problems. Turnell is very good at weaving an understanding of Burmese politics with the economics of finance - a rare combination of expertise indeed.
The book is very well researched and seems to cover absolutely every aspect of Burmese finance, even detailed many of the individual banks during various points in history. It begins with colonial Burma and the infamous chettiers and ends with the present (circa 2007 by the time of publication). However, the book does veer more toward history than the present - the BSPP and SLORC eras are given short shrift, except for the 2002 banking crisis.
Turnell explains enough of Burmese history to make the book accessible to non-experts. One warning: This is a very detailed look into a somewhat esoteric subject. I'd only recommend this book to scholars of Burmese history or development economics. It will probably prove a bit dry for lay readers.
Definitely recommended for Burma watchers.
