History
Following the 1907 financial crisis , the
U.S.Monetary Commission wanted to
understand the major financial systems of the
world. A treatise by Jacob Riesser, the director
of a Berlin bank, argued that the German
universal banking system possessed beneficial
characteristics that allowed it to efficiently
provide inexpensive capital to industry and
promote growth. Alexander Gerschen kron also
advanced the hypothesis that universal banking
was critical to Germany's industrialization. More
recently, Caroline Fohlin has questioned the
validity of the Gerschenkron hypothesis.
