Many debts have ben incurred in the production of this book. Perhaps the greatest is due to the Bank of Guyana for granting me study leave to pursue the research. In its formation stages, Helen Agard and Deorance Budharm were especially helpful in the search for data and other sources. As the work progressed, the librarians at the Bank, at the Institute of Bankers, London, and at UWIST provided valuable references.
How do you feel?
