摘要

The Corporation of London sought the opinion of nearly 400 financial services businesspeople on financial centers in 2005 (Yeandle et al., 2005); but what is a financial center and why do financial centers matter? The answers to both questions are not straightforward. Financial centers have existed throughout history from ancient, nearly legendary, entrepots such as Babylon, Samarkand, Constantinople, Marrakech, or Timbuktu through to London, New York City, Paris, Tokyo, or Shanghai. It is difficult to work out what is the appropriate "unit of analysis" for financial centers. Should we be examining these financial centers at the level of the culture (Anglo-Saxon, Han Chinese, Continental European or Arab), or of the nation-state (USA, UK, Germany or Japan), or at a regional level (Far East, Near East, Europe, North America)? One of the more interesting observations has been that cities, rather than nations, are the drivers of economies (Jacobs, 1984). Cities are where people go to trade, and live to trade.
