Financial scandals regularly punctuate newspaper headlines and regulators and auditors appear bereft of effective responses. But has this always been the case? This book quantifies financial crime in the UK using three centuries of data. It demonstrates how financial fraud and scandal vary according to systematic economic and institutional arrangements. In doing so, it retells the history of British capitalism, from the mercantilism of the eighteenth century to the financial capitalism of the twenty-first century, illustrating the often negative consequences of economic ideology, policy and structure. It identifies periods when fraud has been less problematic and contrasts these with times when it has surged. The variation of outcomes reflects the balance of power between the state, industrial and financial sectors, the provision of credit through risky lending, and the effectiveness of audits. "Rogue traders" and other flawed individuals are frequently the focus of blame narratives constructed with the intention of deflecting comprehensive systematic reforms"-- cProvided by publisher10aCommercial crimes zGreat Britain xHistory20aFraud zGreat Britain xHistory20aScandals zGreat Britain xHistory2 aUniversity of Leeds, UK.,eissuing body. 0aFrontiers of accounting and financial history ;vvol. 4   2ddccB  c202848d202848  0071bPPAKcRd2026-04-07l0oR 364.1680941 TOMpA01909988r2026-04-07 10:18:36yB
