Key Notes
Glossary
Presented as a private bank guaranteed by Parliament and as a vehicle of transnational capital.
Glossary
Central banking institution that Jiang says let Britain borrow against national trust and finance wars at unmatched scale.
model
Jiang traces the modern system to the 1688 Glorious Revolution and 1694 Bank of England, where Dutch wealth and English state security fused into a private bank able to finance empire.
model
Jiang says British imperial power rested on financial absorption through the Bank of England, legal protection for property, soft-power security, and naval control of sea lanes.
model
The Glorious Revolution is interpreted less as a religious event than as a capital-protection pact in which Parliament becomes sovereign and William of Orange accepts figurehead monarchy.
model
The Bank of England changes debt by making creditors lend to the nation rather than to a mortal or defaulting king, so the people remain liable even when the ruler dies.
model
The British Empire is modeled as a small island that rules by controlling global trade, sea lanes, the Bank of England, English-language reach, and colonial nodes.
evidence
England attracts Dutch capital by installing William of Orange and creating the Bank of England, a private bank guaranteed by Parliament.
