DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the evolution of the Bank of Englan
 d in the aftermath of the First World War. It describes how and why the Ba
 nk began employing technical advisers to determine economic policy. Althou
 gh the Bank's primary goal was to defend the status of the City of London 
 as an international financial centre\, it became increasingly involved in 
 areas unprecedented for a central bank\, including industrial policy\, for
 eign affairs and imperial relations. In the aftermath of the Great Depress
 ion and amidst preparations for another world war\, the Bank ended the int
 erwar years as a public-oriented institution.
