The deregulation of the financial system in France in the 1980s and the French commitment to the freedom of capital, as recently pointed out by Rawi Abdelal, is ‘quite curious’ and even doubly paradoxical: how to understand, first, that the financial liberalization has occurred while the left was in power? Second, how to explain that Colbertist France took the lead for financial deregulation at a world scale feeding the hypothesis of a so-called ‘Paris Consensus’? Based on the primary archives of the French Treasury and of the Banque of France this contribution aims to demonstrate that the financial deregulation in France is managed by the State in order to facilitate its increasing indebtedness on a globalizing money market.

European integration played an important role in liberalizing banking and financial markets. Based on archival material from central banks, commercial banks, and bankers’ association in France and the United Kingdom, this chapter sheds light on the role of the European Economic Community in three areas: the realization of a common market in banking, the liberalization of capital movements, and the broader financial integration in the EEC. It argues that in the EEC, financial liberalization had two motives: the deepening of the Common Market, and consolidation of European monetary cooperation/integration. Removing obstacles to integration was the main way used to achieve these goals. The chapter further challenges the work of Rawi Abdelal, which overstates the role of France and downplays the role of the United Kingdom in the liberalization of the financial sector.

The 1980s was one of the most eventful and consequential decades in the development of the US financial system. During this decade, the regulatory framework established in response to the Great Depression started to be dismantled. These regulatory changes were a key driving force behind the transformation of the banking sector. Moreover, the end of the decade saw the most serious banking crisis since the Great Depression. This pattern of deregulation and crises, which started in the 1980s, has continued until the present. Thus, it is worth study this period in greater detail and the consequences it has had for the US banking and financial system. The chapter argues that the deregulatory process that started in the 1980s in the banking industry in the United States has changed the profile of this sector. Between the Great Depression and the 1980s, the banking sector in the United States was a stable, yet not competitive sector. The financial deregulation of the 1980s changed this sector to a competitive, yet unstable one. This deregulatory process occurred mostly as a response to the economic conditions of the 1970s.
