Abstract

Financial systems vary significantly between Britain and Continental Europe, with formal securities markets prevailing in the former and banks dominating in the latter. According to the traditional paradigm, strong, universal banks played a central role in the industrialization of Germany. British banks, in contrast, have been criticized for taking a limited part in corporate finance and are seen by many as having failed to promote industrial investment.
