This work will examines the decline of the British merchant bank during the 1980's and 90's. The story of Barings is commonly told, but Barings was just one of a significant number of British merchant banks which collapsed, were sold, or simply gave up. Only four now remain, and all of these survivors are independent of outside institutional shareholders.

He also examines the issue of ownership and shareholding, which appear pertinent given that the four surviving British merchant banks are independent.
