[301]-307) and index. Six times a year, the world's most powerful and exclusive club meets in an unexceptional office building in Basel, Switzerland. This book tells the history of an institution that was designed to escape public scrutiny and to emphasize discretion, even as it became a leading architect of the global financial system. Based on extensive archival research in Switzerland, Britain, and the United States, and in-depth interviews with key decision-makers — including Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve; Sir Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England; and former senior Bank for International Settlements managers and officials — Tower of Basel tells the inside story of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS): the central bankers' own bank.
