Scenarios about 'central banking'
Central banking refers to the system where a central authority manages a nation's monetary policy, currency supply, and financial stability. Since the establishment of the Swedish Riksbank in 1668 and the Bank of England in 1694, central banks have evolved to regulate banking systems, control inflation, and serve as lenders of last resort during financial crises. In alternate history scenarios, different central banking structures often lead to divergent economic development paths, financial stability outcomes, and shifts in global economic power.
