11 Acknowledgements This book has been a very long time in the making. Over such a long period, many intellectual debts are accumulated and I would particularly like to thank Jo Melling, Jim Tomlinson, Nick Tiratsoo for their helpful comments on my work over the years and to Mike Anson, Mark Bufton and Andrew Jenkins for stimulating conversations when the germ of this project was hatched. None of them should be blamed for what follows; my obstinacy is legendary. More generally Jeremy Black has been a rock of support and encouragement. Above all, I should like to thank Louise Hill Curth for her enthusiasm for and assistance with all things academic. I have also accumulated debts to many archivists, from whom I would like to single out Edwin Green and Sara Kinsey at HSBC Group Archives, London, Beth Kaplan and Carrie Seib at the Charles Babbage Institute and Susan Hengel, Lynn Catanese and Marge McNinch at the Hagley Museum and Library. At various times, this work has been supported by the Hagley Institute (with many thanks to Philip Scranton, Roger Horowitz and Carol Lockman), the British Academy (research grant LRG 37246), the (then) Arts and Humanities Research Board (research leave grant number RL/PID11476/ AID18709) and the University of Exeter for a period of study leave. I am especially grateful to all four institutions for their generous and flexible support. For permission to use and quote archival material, I am grateful to the following: Graham Goulden (Fujitsu Services for the Fujitsu, formerly ICL, Archive), Edwin Green (HSBC Group Archives, London), Helen Langton (British Bankers Association Archive) and Philip Winterbottom (Royal Bank of Scotland Group Archives, London), Professor Stephen Broadberry, Cambridge University Press, The National Institute of Economic and Social Research and Professor Karel Williams. Every effort has been made to contact all copyright holders of material reproduced in this book. If any have been inadvertently overlooked, I apologise and will attend to the matter at the first opportunity. xi
