About this product

Product Information

The roller-coaster story of one of the UK's biggest national financial institutions over the past thirty years Based on unparalleled access to those involved, and told with compelling pace and drama, The Bank that Lived a Little is the story of one of the most familiar names on the British high street since Big Bang in 1986. Philip Augar describes three decades of boardroom intrigue driven by ruthless ambition, grandiose dreams and a desire for wealth. This is an extraordinary corporate thriller, an inside chronicle of personal feuds, but much more besides- Augar shows that Barclays' experiences are a paradigm for Britain's social and economic life over thirty years, which saw the City move from the edge of the economy to its very centre. These decades created unprecedented prosperity for a tiny number, and made the reputations of governments and individuals but then left many of them in tatters. The leveraged society, the winner-takes-all mentality and our present era of austerity can all be traced to the influence of banks such as Barclays. Augar's book tells this rollercoaster story from the perspective of many of its participants - and also of those affected by the grip they came to have on Britain.
