DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the evolution of the Ba
 nk of England in the aftermath of the First World 
 War. It describes how and why the Bank began emplo
 ying technical advisers to determine economic poli
 cy. Although the Bank's primary goal was to defend
  the status of the City of London as an internatio
 nal financial centre\, it became increasingly invo
 lved in areas unprecedented for a central bank\, i
 ncluding industrial policy\, foreign affairs and i
 mperial relations. In the aftermath of the Great D
 epression and amidst preparations for another worl
 d war\, the Bank ended the interwar years as a pub
 lic-oriented institution.
