Abstract

17 maja 2023 r. ukazała się książka autorstwa Anny L. Murphy zatytułowana Virtuous Bankers: A Day in the Life of the Late Eighteenth-Century Bank of England, nakładem prestiżowego wydawnictwa Princeton University Press. W ciągu kilku tygodni zyskała bardzo dobre recenzje. Jedną z nich była recenzja sporządzona przez wykładającego na King’s College w Londynie Kofi Adjepong-Boateng, opublikowana na łamach prestiżowego Financial Times (Adjepong-Boateng 2023). Sporo miejsca poświęcił jej też Wall Street Journal za sprawą Adama Rowe’a (Rowe 2023). Zachwalają ją nie tylko te dwie prestiżowe gazety. Bardzo pozytywną recenzję sporządził także David Bholat z University of Essex (Bholat 2023). Do przeczytania tej książki zachęcają też m.in.: Harold James, dobrze znany miłośnikom historii ekonomii w Polsce, David Kynaston – autor cenionej pracy o historii Banku Anglii, na którego autorka często się powołuje (Kynaston 2017), czy były wiceprezes Banku Anglii Paul Tucker. Tytułem wstępu warto poświęcić kilka słów samej autorce. Jest ona wykładowczynią na University of Portsmouth. Sławę i uznanie zdobyła przede wszystkim dzięki opracowaniu The Origins of English Financial Markets Investment and Speculation before the South Sea Bubble. Tytuł tej pracy naukowej potwierdza, że Murphy specjalizuje się w historii gospodarczej XVII w.
