Abstract: During the 1930s was established the world’s oldest international financial institution – the Bank for International Settlements. Yet now, 88 years from its creation, both the academic community and the public know so little about it. On the basis of the bank’s dark history, the goal of this paper is to reveal the dangerous and hidden aspects behind the globalization of finance which started during the interwar and war period.
