Economists have long maintained that a welldeveloped and functioning financial system is a vital prerequisite to economic growth. Countries with robust banking sectors and securities marketsthat is, countries in which credit cards, loans, mortgages, and the ability to issue stocks and bonds are available to a broad swath of consumers and businessesare more prosperous than countries that restrict such access to a favored elite. What is less clear is why some countries develop better financial systems than others. The essays in this volume employ the insights and techniques of political science, economics, and history to provide a fresh answer to this question. While scholarly tradition points to the colonial origin of a countrys legal system as the most important determinant of the health of its financial system, this volume points instead to a countrys political institutionsits governmental structures and the rules of the political gameas the key. Specifically, the openness and competitiveness of a countrys political system tends to reflect itself in the openness and competitiveness of its financial system.
