La littérature économique établit que dans la banque la maîtrise des coûts et la gestion du risque sont plus importantes que la taille et la diversité des opérations. Dans quelles mesures ce constat aide-t-il à comprendre les différences de performances à long terme des grandes banques ? Les onze études historiques présentées dans ce livre analysent les différents facteurs (la stratégie et la structure, la propriété, la gouvernance et le management des banques mais aussi la réputation, le pouvoir de marché et la protection des institutions) qui influencent la réussite à long terme et la longévité de ces banques.
