Download or read book Money Facts written by Wright Patman and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.” -P.T. Barnum “…Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.” -President James Garfield “Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.” -Benjamin Franklin The above quotes about money are just a few examples of the many statements made by politicians, businessmen, philosophers, and ordinary people throughout the ages, showing that money has always attracted a lot of attention and controversy. The meaning of money, how it was created, and how it influenced everyday life for Americans inspired Wright Patman throughout his professional life as a Congressman from 1928 to 1975, as chairman of the powerful United States House Committee on Banking and Currency from 1963 to 1975 and a life-long populist in the good sense of the word. He defended the little guy, farmers, veterans and small businessmen against big business, big chain stores, big banks and especially the Federal Reserve system. Together with his Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, Patman released in 1964 A Primer on Money explaining how the US monetary system works and indicated where it needed reform. As a supplement to that report, he released Money Facts--169 Questions and Answers on Money, which is designed to highlight in question and answer form the basic points brought out in A Primer on Money. It answers, for example, what money is: “Money is anything that people will accept in exchange for goods or services, in the belief that they may, in turn, exchange it, now or later, for other goods or services,”, but it also raises many other questions such as: - Who issues currency? - What is a central bank? - What is active monetary policy? - What is the main problem of the Federal Reserve System? Although this publication is over fifty years old, and some changes have been made to the Federal Reserve System since then, this booklet is still relevant and important to understand more about the history and meaning of money and how the Federal Reserve System plays a crucial role in the US economy. This report is interesting reading for students of monetary policy, academics, policymakers, journalists, and anyone interested to learn about the basics of money and the monetary system.
Download or read book A Primer on Money Banking and Gold Peter L Bernstein s Finance Classics written by Peter L. Bernstein and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the foremost financial writers of his generation, Peter Bernstein has the unique ability to synthesize intellectual history and economics with the theory and practice of investment management. Now, with classic titles such as Economist on Wall Street, A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold, and The Price of Prosperity—which have forewords by financial luminaries and new introductions by the author—you can enjoy some of the best of Bernstein in his earlier Wall Street days. With the proliferation of financial instruments, new areas of instability, and innovative capital market strategies, many economists and investors have lost sight of the fundamentals of the financial system—its strengths as well as its weaknesses. A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold takes you back to the beginning and sorts out all the pieces. Peter Bernstein skillfully addresses how and why commercial banks lend and invest, where money comes from, how it moves from hand to hand, and the critical role of interest rates. He explores the Federal Reserve System and the consequences of the Fed's actions on the overall economy. But this book is not just about the past. Bernstein's novel perspective on gold and the dollar is critical for today's decision makers, as he provides extensive views on the future of money, banking, and gold in the world economy. This illuminating story about the heart of our economic system is essential reading at a time when developments in finance are more important than ever.

Download or read book A Primer on Money written by Wright Patman and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “…We have what is known as the Federal Reserve Bank System. That system is not owned by the Government. Many people think that it is, because it says 'Federal Reserve'. It belongs to the private banks, private corporations. So we have farmed out to the Federal Reserve Banking System that is owned exclusively, wholly, 100 percent by the private banks —we have farmed out to them the privilege of issuing the Government's money. If we were to take this privilege back from them, we could save the amount of money that I have indicated in enormous interest charges.” —Wright Patman, Democratic representative from Texas The above quote was from a 1941 speech by U.S. congressman Wright Patman, a fierce critic of the Federal Reserve. *A Primer on Money*, released in 1964 by the Congressional Subcommittee on domestic finance, explains in Patman’s introduction “in simple, everyday language how the US monetary system works and indicates where it needs reform.” It describes specifically: - What is money? - How is money created? - The role of the Federal Reserve System - Money supply and Monetary policy - Improvements in the Money System Although this publication is over fifty years old and changes have been made to the Federal Reserve System since then, it is a testament to Patman’s insights that this report is still relevant and important to today’s discussion about the role of the Federal Reserve in the U.S. economy.

Book excerpt: Money is the lifeblood of the economic system and the way we function as a society. Most of us devote 8-12 hours a day seeking to make money and worry about it, trying to determine how much we earn to spend or invest. But what is the underlying concept of money? Is it a piece of paper with pretty pictures that dictates its concept? Is it what the authorities describe? Or is it what you and I decide as a marketplace participant? The Neolithic Revolution gave rise to early human civilization around 12,000 years ago but did it gave rise to the concept of money during that time as well? How did people use money during the early BC era? Who used to control the supply of money within a country, and what forms of money were used? Did Egyptians used paper money to build the Pyramids? How did we evolve from gold coins to paper money? Was there a high volume of frauds when we evolved from paper money to plastic money (credit cards)? Did people find internet banking secure in the 1990s? And what in the world are cryptocurrencies? What is a financial market? Are stock markets the only form of financial market? What are bonds? How do banks trade currencies, and what's their role in the financial system? Are central banks and commercial banks the same type of institutions? Is having debt really an issue? Living in a world where money is a constant that one works for, it is important to become aware of what constitutes the participants that make up the financial system that governs money control. What caused the Great Depression of 1929? What caused the Great Recession of 2007? What is the role of central banks and financial institutions in a recession? What is Bitcoin? Is Bitcoin the future of money? What is Ethereum? Is Ethereum the future of money? What are smart contracts? Is Blockchain technology the future or just a fad? PROTOCOLS OF MONEY will provide a detailed chronological overview of the evolution of money. From the Barter System to Gold. From Gold to Coins. From Coins to Paper Money. From Paper Money to Plastic Money. From Plastic Money to Digital Money. From Digital Money to Cryptocurrencies. The book will provide all the answers regarding the origin of the concept of money. It will provide you with the appropriate knowledge; one needs to become financially and economically literate so that when an impact occurs to the economy, you are prepared.

Download or read book The Money We Need A Short Primer on Money and Currency written by Henry Loomis Nelson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have read Mr. Nelson's book on "The Money We Need" with very great enjoyment and profit. It shows great command of the subject, and is a clear, succinct, and comprehensive exposition of facts and principles, accurate in statement and lucid in reasoning. It does not require any previous study of political economy or any familiarity with scientific terms to understand it. It is a popular work in the best sense. Especially at a time like this, when the popular mind is grappling with a problem which many people have been in the habit of regarding as a mystery impenetrable to the ordinary understanding, and when vague phrases and catchwords and appeals to prejudice are doing so much mischief, this little book is calculated to render most valuable service, and it should have the largest possible circulation. --Carl Schurz
