1. Наша дискуссия сегодня посвящена истории банковского дела Великобритании. Мы пригласили ведущего специалиста в этой области, известного экономиста и историка, профессора Лондонского Университета, доктора Дэвида Арнольда. Профессор Арнольд – автор множества книг и научных статей по истории банковского дела и, без сомнения, сможет рассказать нам много интересного. Итак, профессор, первый вопрос: каковы истоки банковского дела? Существовало ли оно в примитивных сообществах? 2. Все мы знаем, что современное слово «банк» происходит от итальянского “banko”, то есть скамья. Итальянские купцы и торговцы оказали большое влияние на развитие банковских услуг, не так ли? 3. А что обусловило необходимость банковских услуг в Великобритании? Ведь финансовые услуги нужны тогда, когда экономические отношения достигают определенного уровня и у людей появляются излишки денежных средств. 4. Мы знаем, что первые банковские услуги оказывались ювелирами, так как, во-первых, их ремесло было тесно связанно с деньгами и ценностями, а во-вторых, они имели подходящие помещения для их хранения. А какие финансовые документы использовались в то время? Похожи ли они на современные платежные документы? 5. Спасибо большое за интересную беседу, профессор. Мы надеемся продолжить дискуссию в ближайшем будущем, ведь история Британского банковского дела очень поучительна и интересна. |
