Lombard Street: A Description of the Money Market is one of the all-time classics of finance and monetary policy, and is still relied upon today by central banks world-wide for its statement of broad principles in times of financial calamity. Written in 1873 in reaction to the Bank of England's response to a financial meltdown--the collapse of a bank, which induced a panic that spread throughout the country in 1866--Lombard Street was one of the first books to describe international monetary policy in clear, easy-to-understand terms.
