The general history and development is examined through the use of a case study which examines the creation of the Bank of England.

The responsibilities such as printing legal tender, monetary stability and lender of last resort all emerge following the success as a funding source for war.

The looks at the development of the Bank of England and tools used such as the Gold Standard and then applies the lessons to more recent central bank developments such as the creation and success of the Bundesbank, looking for commonalities that may be indicators of success. This is then applied to the current position of the European Central Bank, (ECB) in order to assess how successful the ECB will be in the future. The bibliography cites 59 sources.
