Download or read book Black Business in the New South written by Walter B. Weare and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the century, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company became the "world's largest Negro business." Located in Durham, North Carolina, which was known as the "Black Wall Street of America," this business came to symbolize the ideas of racial progress, self-help, and solidarity in America. Walter B. Weare's social and intellectual history, originally published in 1973 (University of Illinois Press) and updated here to include a new introduction, still stands as the definitive history of black business in the New South. Drawing on a wide range of sources—including personal papers of the company's leaders and oral history interviews—Weare traces the company's story from its ideological roots in the eighteenth century to its economic success in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Business of Life Insurance Many books concerning life insurance have been published heretofore for the instruction of persons who are engaged in the life insurance business in one capacity or another. They will in some cases be found useful also to persons who merely patronise life insurance; and, when this is true, will amply repay study. This book is published, however, for the special uses of the great public, composed of persons, nearly all of whom purchase insurance on their lives. Many of these also earn their livelihood by selling it, some by employment in the service of companies that provide it, and a very few in managing these companies. It is hoped and anticipated that just because this book has been prepared for the instruction of all who buy and hold life insurance policies, it will be of unusual interest and perhaps of uncommon utility to the agents of life insurance companies, their employees and their officers; but that is not the chief purpose.

Download or read book Investing in Life written by Sharon Ann Murphy and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the early years of the life insurance industry in 19th century America. Investing in Life considers the creation and expansion of the American life insurance industry from its early origins in the 1810s through the 1860s and examines how its growth paralleled and influenced the emergence of the middle class. Using the economic instability of the period as her backdrop, Sharon Ann Murphy also analyzes changing roles for women; the attempts to adapt slavery to an urban, industrialized setting; the rise of statistical thinking; and efforts to regulate the business environment. Her research directly challenges the conclusions of previous scholars who have dismissed the importance of the earliest industry innovators while exaggerating clerical opposition to life insurance. Murphy examines insurance as both a business and a social phenomenon. She looks at how insurance companies positioned themselves within the marketplace, calculated risks associated with disease, intemperance, occupational hazard, and war, and battled fraud, murder, and suicide. She also discusses the role of consumers?their reasons for purchasing life insurance, their perceptions of the industry, and how their desires and demands shaped the ultimate product. Winner, Hagley Prize in Business History, Hagley Museum and Library and the Business History Conference Praise for Investing in Life “A well-written, well-argued book that makes a number of important contributions to the history of business and capitalism in antebellum America.” —Sean H. Vanatta, Common Place “An intriguing, instructive history of the establishment and development of the life insurance industry that reveals a good deal about changing social and commercial conditions in antebellum America . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Insurance: A Concise Description of the Adaptation of Life Insurance to Corporations, Business Firms, and Individuals The potentiality of life insurance as a factor in commercial stability may be inferred from a public utterance made a few years ago by an officer of one of our leading mercantile agencies. He declared that during the past decade corporation and partnership insurance would have saved more than one million employers from sinking back into the ranks of the employed. This is a stag gering statement, but it is supported by a report of another agency to the effect that one-third of all business failures are attribut able to deaths for which no provision has been made. Another large proportion of business failures is doubtless occasioned by general financial stringency finding concerns unprovided with reserve resources, such as would be furnished by the loan values of life insurance policies.

Download or read book Morals and Markets written by Viviana A. Rotman Zelizer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life insurance—the promise of an insurer to pay a sum upon a person's death in exchange for a regular premium—is a bizarre enterprise. How can we monetize human life? Should we? What statistics do we use, what assumptions do we make, and what behavioral factors do we consider? First published in 1979, Morals and Markets Is a pathbreaking study exploring the development of life insurance in the United States. Viviana A. Rotman Zelizer combines economic history and a sociological perspective to advance a novel interpretation of the life insurance industry. The book pioneered a cultural approach to the analysis of morally controversial markets. Zelizer begins in the mid-nineteenth century with the rise of the life insurance industry, a contentious chapter in the history of American business. Life insurance was stigmatized at first, denounced in newspapers and condemned by religious leaders as an immoral and sacrilegious gamble on human life. Over time, the business became a widely praised arrangement to secure a family's future. How did life insurance overcome cultural barriers? As Zelizer shows, the evolution of the industry in the United States matched evolving attitudes toward death, money, family relations, property, and personal legacy.
