  • The Evolution of Finance from the 20th Century to the 21st Century

My Research report will cover the progression of Finance from the 20th Century to the present times of the 21st Century we live in today. We will begin to talk about the common aspects revolving the modern commercial financial world to date, with the way we buy, sell and trade all goods and services to how we transfer and receive funds and how this financial system has evolved. Topics that evolved the world of finance such as, Sales & Trading, Effects of Inflation, Inconsistent Interest Rates, Exchange Rates, Investments, Information Security and Internet Banking. These are just some of the many factors that will continue to evolve the day to day lives of millions. We will also continue to analyse how these factors continue to evolve in the 21st Century and beyond, in this day and age of immense complexities, where communication is instantaneous and in an era of constant developmental change. This research will also analyse the benefits and the consequences of such fast-paced finance and its future development.
