Download or read book Money and Banking written by Horace White and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money and Banking: Illustrated by American History Very few persons, if any, are satisfied with our present monetary condition. While I write these lines a withdrawal of $2, 3 gold from the Treasury causes a fresh tremor and confusion of tongues. Everybody assures everybody else, and tries to assure himself, that it is of no consequence. Probably no harm will come of it, but why should it be noticed at all, except by a few dealers in foreign exchange? Because the public Treasury undertakes to maintain the ultimate gold reserve of the country, and because people doubt whether it can do so at all times. Are these doubts unreasonable? The only law on the statute book really effective for the discharge of this obligation was passed in 1862 for a different emergency, had been forgotten a quar ter of a century, and was discovered by accident the last day in the afternoon. As regards the act of 187 5 (under which gold was twice procured last year for the replenish ment of the Treasury) it is a matter of dispute whether it is still in force, or whether it lapsed when specie payments were resumed. A dispute on such a question is itself an incentive to panic. Moreover, everything depends upon the mood and temper of the Administration for the time being whether such powers as the law confers shall be exercised wisely and promptly, or exercised at all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and History of Banking Eight of the chapters were printed in 1885 for the use of classes in Harvard University, but were not then given to the public.

The whole has been revised and the notices of current history brought down to the present date, and the book is now laid before students and readers with the hope that it may aid in the sys tematic study of a subject, the treatment of which by writers upon economics is generally either too summary or too diffuse for ordinary purposes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Banking: A Short History Ancient Banking. Banking is an outgrowth of commerce. In its most primitive form-money-changing it assumed the first function of banking demanded by the times, and as commerce increased between man and men and between country and countries, other functions developed as necessity required, until to-day the business of banking occupies a proud position among the institutions which have contributed to the development of the world. Gold Stater Of Miletus, About 800 B.C, The modern word bank seems to have been derived from the German word "banck," which was introduced into Italy by the dominant Germans in the twelfth century, and became Italianized into the word "banco," which was used interchangeably with the word "monte," to mean a collection of credit or money.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Bank of the United States IN this book an effort has been made to write the history of the Second Bank of the United States in its various aspects, laying particular stress, however, upon its relations to politics, and upon its operations as a commercial bank. My thanks are due to the Honorable Craig Biddle, of Philadelphia, the distinguished head of a distinguished family, whose members for over a century and a quarter have won honor in the annals of our country as seamen and soldiers, jurists, bankers, and historians. With a generosity as rare as it is grateful he has permitted free and complete access to the papers of his father, Nicholas Biddle, which still exist in their entirety at his summer home in Andalusia, Pennsylvania.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Banking in Florida, 1828-1954 For three centuries following the discovery of Florida in 1513 there was no institution or organization of a character that would be presently recognized as a commercial bank. The first bank, the Bank of Florida at Tallahassee, was chartered in 1828. There were, however, organizations and institutions which carried on public and private business during the three hundred years of Spanish and English occupations of Florida. The financial his tory of the state in' these periods can be related through the story of the commercial operations of public and private agencies before American acquisition in 1821.

Questions whose solution was doubtful and disputed have been settled to the satisfaction of intelligent men. The gold standard, which was described twelve years ago as a conspiracy against the human race, has been adopted in succession within that time by the United States, Russia, Austria - Hungary, Japan, and Mexico. Practically the only country remaining upon the silver standard is China, which is without a national monetary system, and even as these pages go to press despatches from China indicate that the government is planning such a national system to be based ultimately upon gold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Banks and Banking The connection between commercial crises and banking is of such an intimate character that the leading incidents of every important crisis have been given. Modern banking is so dependent upon the rate of interest which determines the profits of banks that it has been considered desirable to give a somewhat lengthened account of the causes of fluctuations in the value of money. The concluding chapters are devoted to incidents of modern practice, such as cheques, bills of exchange and the Opening of branch offices.

Download or read book Money and Banking Classic Reprint written by John Thom Holdsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Money and Banking The treatment of Money in Part I follows in a general way the lines made familiar by other standard works to which frequent references are made in the footnotes and m the suggested reading lists at the end of each chapter. The efiort has been made to compress this part of the book into the smallest space consistent with a presentation of essentials in the history, theory and principles of money, leaving the major part of the book for the discussion of the principles and practices of banking. In the chapters devoted to banking organization and practice it has been impossible to give consideration to the varying local cus toms and practices of different types of banking institutions. The aim has been to describe those principles and practices of commercial banking that are common to all banks. Though the new Federal reserve system introduces far reaching changes in our banking and currency system, many years must elapse before its full effects can be definitely measured. Throughout Part II frequent reference is made to various provisions of the Act of 1913, and Chapter XXII is devoted to an analysis of its leading provisions, and a summary of the steps taken in the establishment of the new system. A proper understanding of the new system, how ever, can be gained only by following its Operations and marking the effect of changes that will certainly be made in the law from time to time. It is believed that the addition of the complete text of the Federal Reserve Act (appendix) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
