Lombard Street: A Description of the Money Market is Walter Bagehot’s classic 1873 study of banking, credit, and financial stability in London. Written by a journalist, businessman, and editor of The Economist, the book is not a theoretical treatise in the abstract sense but a practical explanation of how the money market actually works and why it becomes dangerous during panic. Bagehot wrote in the aftermath of the 1866 Overend, Gurney crisis, and his purpose was to clarify the role of the Bank of England when confidence collapses. The book is best known for shaping the modern doctrine of the lender of last resort, but its broader value lies in its analysis of liquidity, reserves, public confidence, and the limits of laissez-faire in banking. It remains a foundational text for central banking because it combines historical observation, institutional analysis, and plain language.
