It presents a realistic and powerful portrayal of a highly monopolistic, immensely large, and powerfully influential central bank in modern China, using extensive handwritten archival materials to enhance its authenticity. This book serves as a valuable resource for academic research, provides insights for contemporary bankers, helps financial professionals gain a deeper understanding, and offers a fascinating glimpse for the general reading public. The book compiles materials on the Central Bank of China from its establishment in Shanghai on November 1928 to its takeover by the People's Government in May 1949. The entire work is divided into three parts, twenty-four chapters. Part One covers the period before the War of Resistance against Japan, consisting of seven chapters; Part Two covers the War of Resistance against Japan, comprising ten chapters; and Part Three covers the period after the War of Resistance against Japan, with seven chapters. These sections reflect the basic conditions and significant activities of this large-scale financial institution in modern China, which served as the core and typical representative of state-monopolistic capitalism for twenty-two years.
