Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elastic Currency; "George Smith's Money" In the Early Northwest: An Address to the American Bankers' Association at Chicago, October 19, 1893 Nearly everybody who busies himself with the subject of finance says that we ought to have an elastic currency. What is meant by that? Evidently it means a currency that will expand when there is an active demand for it and contract when the demand subsides. This suggests another query: What do we mean by demand P The demand for money is nearly universal. It is as great among the loafers around the City Hall as among the brokers on the Stock Exchange, but when we speak of the demand for money we do not mean the demand of either beggars or speculators. We mean the demand for money to carry on the exchange of the products of the country, which move at certain periods and years in larger volume than at other periods and years. We all agree that the currency ought to be elastic in the sense of being more abundant when the exchanges of goods are rapid and extensive, and less abundant when the contrary condition exists. How can we get this kind of a currency? We cannot get it from the Government, because the Government cannot know when the demand for money is increasing and when it is diminishing. The Government has no commercial barometer. All of its machinery is political. The loafers around the City Hall have the same access to its ear as the merchants and the manufacturers. Tammany Hall has a stronger pull on it than the Produce Exchange. The advocates of a currency issued by the Government tacitly acknowledge these facts when they go in for a per capita currency. They have no measure for the needs of the community except a count of heads. They would not, however, apply this rule to the tribes of Central Africa. Why not? Because the business of Central Africa is not like our business. So it appears that the kind of business should be taken account of as well as the number of people. That is all that we contend for. The Government has an infallible test for the numbers of the people, because it can take the census. But it has no test whatever for the state of business, except such inferences as may be drawn from the collection of taxes. I believe it has never been proposed to gauge the issuing of currency by the collections at the Custom House, but that method would be much more philosophical than the per capita method.

This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collectively, mankind has never had it so good despite periodic economic crises of which the current sub-prime crisis is merely the latest example. Much of this success is attributable to the increasing efficiency of the world's financial institutions as finance has proved to be one of the most important causal factors in economic performance. In a series of insightful essays, financial and economic historians examine how financial innovations from the seventeenth century to the present have continually challenged established institutional arrangements, forcing change and adaptation by governments, financial intermediaries, and financial markets. Where these have been successful, wealth creation and growth have followed. When they failed, growth slowed and sometimes economic decline has followed. These essays illustrate the difficulties of co-ordinating financial innovations in order to sustain their benefits for the wider economy, a theme that will be of interest to policy makers as well as economic historians.

Book excerpt: Why has the United States experienced so many crippling financial crises? The popular answer: U.S. banks have long been poorly regulated, subjecting the economy to the whims of selfish interest, which must be tempered by more government regulation and centralization. George Selgin turns this conventional wisdom on its head. In essays covering U.S. monetary policy since before the Civil War, he painstakingly traces financial disorder to its source: misguided government regulation, dispelling the myth of the Federal Reserve as a bulwark of stability.

Download or read book Spearhead of Logistics written by Benjamin King and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearhead of Logistics is a narrative branch history of the U.S. Army's Transportation Corps, first published in 1994 for transportation personnel and reprinted in 2001 for the larger Army community. The Quartermaster Department coordinated transportation support for the Army until World War I revealed the need for a dedicated corps of specialists. The newly established Transportation Corps, however, lasted for only a few years. Its significant utility for coordinating military transportation became again transparent during World War II, and it was resurrected in mid-1942 to meet the unparalleled logistical demands of fighting in distant theaters. Finally becoming a permanent branch in 1950, the Transportation Corps continued to demonstrate its capability of rapidly supporting U.S. Army operations in global theaters over the next fifty years. With useful lessons of high-quality support that validate the necessity of adequate transportation in a viable national defense posture, it is an important resource for those now involved in military transportation and movement for ongoing expeditionary operations. This text should be useful to both officers and noncommissioned officers who can take examples from the past and apply the successful principles to future operations, thus ensuring a continuing legacy of Transportation excellence within Army operations. Additionally, military science students and military historians may be interested in this volume.
Download or read book The New Urban Frontier written by Neil Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-26 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have so many central and inner cities in Europe, North America and Australia been so radically revamped in the last three decades, converting urban decay into new chic? Will the process continue in the twenty-first century or has it ended? What does this mean for the people who live there? Can they do anything about it? This book challenges conventional wisdom, which holds gentrification to be the simple outcome of new middle-class tastes and a demand for urban living. It reveals gentrification as part of a much larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late twentieth century. Documenting in gritty detail the conflicts that gentrification brings to the new urban 'frontiers', the author explores the interconnections of urban policy, patterns of investment, eviction, and homelessness. The failure of liberal urban policy and the end of the 1980s financial boom have made the end-of-the-century city a darker and more dangerous place. Public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, working people, the poor, and the homeless as never before. In the emerging revanchist city, gentrification has become part of this policy of revenge.
