Bokkapitel "Adapting to a changing world. Swedish savings banks in the 21st century"

The theme of the book is the connection between banking and charity, between ethics and profit, between social responsibility and longevity of credit in a range of financial institutions. It includes a variety of studies, from Italian Monte di Pietà in the Middle Ages to the recent advent of contemporary impact financing, from rural moneylenders in Western India to the mutualism of French agricultural credit, from the Swedish savings banks and the British building societies to the German and Dutch Raiffeisen banks, from Rothschild philanthropy to the public economic and social aspects of the Italian banking system, from the Spanish bank archives to those in Canada and South Africa.
