The Consortium; the Official Text of the Four-power Agreement for a Loan to China and Relevant Documents, published in 1921, presents a crucial historical record of international finance and diplomacy in the early 20th century. This volume contains the complete text of the agreement between a consortium of nations to provide a loan to China, along with essential supplementary documents that provide context and detail the negotiations. It is an invaluable resource for understanding the economic and political dynamics that shaped China's relationship with the West during this period.
