Helene Lieser · 1933
Helene Lieser’s 1933 review of Europäische Banken. Bilanzen und Konzerne. Eine kritische Darstellung values annually updated international banking information during the crisis, while noting the restriction to a few representative institutions in each country. Its chief strength is its account of systemic vulnerability:
Es wird sehr gut dargestellt, wie die Kreditorganisation aller Länder unter der Weltkrise leidet, ebenso welche verheerende Wirkungen Währungsentwertungen gerade für die Banken zeitigen.
English translation: It shows very well how the credit organization of all countries suffers under the world crisis, and also what devastating effects currency depreciations produce particularly for banks.
Lieser connects this diagnosis with the survey’s comparative treatment of institutional rescue:
So werden die Reorganisation der Österreichischen Credit-Anstalt, die Bankensanierungen in Italien und Deutschland, die Bereinigung der Folgen des Kreuger-Krachs für die schwedischen Banken instruktiv dargestellt.
English translation: Thus the reorganization of the Austrian Credit-Anstalt, bank rehabilitations in Italy and Germany, and the resolution of the consequences of the Kreuger crash for Swedish banks are instructively presented.
Her favorable assessment rests on the survey’s capacity to explain both crisis transmission and remedial measures, despite its selective coverage.
