Download or read book The Science of Finance written by R. H. Patterson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Finance: A Practical Treatise is a book authored by economist R.H. Patterson, and is a weighty examination of finance. R.H. Patterson's work is a thorough analysis of the financial systems of Great Britain in the 1860s. The Science of Finance is not an introductory text, but rather more of a case study. The work opens with a macro level view of the credit system in place at the time of the book's writing, a system which the author believes is responsible for much of the nation's economic development. The book goes on to examine many of the principal attributes of the British economy, including the concept of capital, the rate of interest, monetary policies, free trade in banking, municipal finance, and much more. Patterson uses a combination of the theoretical and real-world examples to illustrate his points. The book is concluded by a series of appendices that will appeal to the most ardent of readers. In addition to the practical information contained within, the book also provides the reader with an excellent history of the British financial system, and the keen reader will certainly identify the major changes that have taken place since the publication of this text. R.H. Patterson's The Science of Finance: A Practical Treatise is a challenging but informative book about the financial system of England in the nineteenth century. Those familiar with the study of economics and those interested in economic history will likely find this be a worthwhile read, and are encouraged to add this title to their personal libraries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science of Finance, Vol. 1 Under the auspices of the University of Chicago. Dr. Veblen has made a translation of my System der Finanswissenschaft. which he is about to publish with the approval of the German publisher. In response to a wish expressed by the translator, 1 do not hesitate to say that a reading of the proof-sheets has satisfied me (so far as 1 am a competent judge) of the excellence of the translation. I can therefore only express the hope that my book may in this new form meet with as cordial a welcome beyond the sea as has already been accorded to many books of mine in the original.

Download or read book American Finance Vol 1 written by W. R. Lawson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Finance, Vol. 1: Domestic This book must by its very nature be critical, and there is a good deal in it which American readers will dissent from. But the author has every confidence in its receiving from them just, and even indulgent, consideration. When they cannot accept his conclusions they will give him credit for the hard honest work that has been spent on them. NO one could study a subject as he has studied American finance for a quarter of a century without feeling a genuine interest in it. He may flatter himself that he has seen something of it in all its aspects and bearings. As a journalist he has traversed the American continent north and south, east and west. As a financier he has seen most of its financial institutions from the inside. It may also have been of some advantage to him to look at these institutions from a safe distance. There are things to be learned about American finance in Capel Court that cannot be picked up in Wall Street itself. It is only a few years ago that New York was a financial Satellite of London. How long will it be before London becomes a financial satellite of New York? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Science of Finance written by Henry Carter Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Finance: An Investigation of Public Expenditures and Public Revenues The need of a text-book upon the Science of Finance for the use of colleges and universities is, I believe, generally recognised, and it has been my first purpose in preparing the present treatise to write a book that shall supply this need. A second purpose for which the work was undertaken, and one which perhaps exerted greater influence upon the choice of topics and the manner of their discussion, was the desire to contribute something to the development of a financial system t at shall satisfy the peculiar requirements of Federal and local government in the United States. The initial step in this direction consists undoubtedly in a clear presentation of fundamental principles and in a true classification of the means to be employed; but this treatise does not content it self with analysis and theory. In all important cases it ap plies the administrative test to theoretical conclusions, and insists that every constructive proposal should be judged by its adaptation to existing conditions. It seems proper to make mention of this fact because those suggestion-s which give character to the programme of financial reform here submitted cannot be appreciated except the reader recognise the em phasis placed upon administrative considerations. Should it prove that this book is too extended for use in institutions of limited elections, it is suggested that Book I, Part I, and Chapters I and II of Book I, Part II, may be omitted without seriously impairing the logical presentation of the subject.

Download or read book Principles of Economics Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by F. W. Taussig and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Economics, Vol. 1 The order of the topics has been determined more by convenience for exposition than by any strict regard for system. In general, a subject has been entered on only when the main conclusions relat ing to it could be followed to the end. Yet so close is the connec tion between the different parts of economics that it has been nec essary sometimes to go part way in the consideration of matters on which the final word had to be reserved for a later stage. Taxation has offered, as regards its place in the arrangement, perhaps the greatest difficulties. It is so closely connected with economics that some consideration of it seemed essential; whereas public finance in the stricter sense, whose problems are political quite as much as economic, has been omitted. Yet a suitable place for taxation was not easy to find. I concluded finally to put the chapters on this subject at the very close, even though they may have the effect of an anti-climax coming as they do after those on socialism.

Download or read book Selected Works of Merton H Miller written by Merton H. Miller and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as one of the founders of modern corporate finance, Merton H. Miller was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1990 for his work in the theory of finance and financial economics. Selected Works of Merton H. Miller gathers together in two volumes a selection of Miller's most influential contributions over more than fifty years of active research. A common theme running throughout both volumes is Miller's conviction about the utility of market-based approaches to topics as diverse as dividend policy, bank regulation, the structure of securities markets, and competition between research universities and teaching colleges. Miller was perhaps best known for a series of highly influential papers he cowrote in the 1950s and 1960s with fellow Nobel laureate Franco Modigliani that advanced a set of capital structure theorems later dubbed the "M and M propositions." In brief, the M and M propositions state that the actions of investors, firms, and capital markets will cause the market value of a firm to be independent of its capital structure. In other words, a corporation's value depends on its investments in people, ideas, and physical capital goods and not on the mix of bonds, stocks, and other securities used to finance the investments. Four of these papers are reprinted here, together with important later work by Miller in macroeconomics, corporate capital structure, management science, asset pricing, and the economic and regulatory problems of the financial services industry. Diverse and innovative, the papers in Selected Works of Merton H. Miller will interest students and practitioners of economics, finance, and business, as well as policymakers responsible for market regulation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Exposition of Economic Financial Science Among the numerous works that have been published since the days of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations," there are none, on the above subject, that have attempted to give an exposition of the science based upon a Cycle of Seasons, in each decade, beginning on a specific, and ending on a definite year, making within, this period a full decade of ten years, and thus, as it were, repeating the same or nearly a similar course each decade, thus forming a regular periodic Cycle of Seasons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of Social Science, Vol. 1: Containing the Transactions of the American Association The papers included in this number of the Journal of Social Science are about half of the Saratoga papers of 1888. As some misapprehension may exist in regard to the publication of papers by the Association, it may here be said that all papers engaged for the General Meeting of the American Social Science Association are so engaged with the understanding that they may be printed in the Journal of Social Science, if the Council so decide. If, therefore, the writers choose to publish their papers elsewhere (to which the Council offers no objection), it must be with the stipulation that these papers may also be published in the Journal, at the option of the Council as to the time of publication. A list of all the addresses and papers at the meeting of 1888 is printed on pages vi. and vii. Those belonging to the Departments of Education and Jurisprudence are withheld until spring. The papers of the Health Department are here printed in full, except that of Dr. Chapin, of which only an abstract is given; and the discussion is also reported in full. The papers of the joint meeting of the Finance and Social Economy Departments were those submitted by a special Committee on Provident Institutions in the United States, of which the final organization was the following: - W. L. Trenholm, Washington, D.C., Chairman; F. B. Sanborn, Secretary; John P. Townsend, 59 Broad Street, New York; Edmund J. James, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; Gamaliel Bradford, Boston; Joseph Wright, University of Cincinnati; Professor H. C. Adams, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Professor Robert T. Hill, Austin, Tex.; C. C. Jones, Jr., Augusta, Ga.; Rev. H. L. Wayland, Philadelphia; Rev. Oscar C. McCulloch, Indianapolis; Professor J. W. Jenks, Galesburg, Ill.; Hon. Seymour Dexter, Elmira, N.Y. Mr. George Walker, late consul-general at Paris, who had accepted a place on the committee, died in January, 1888, thereby depriving his associates of the service of a gentleman specially familiar with the subjects investigated. This committee was appointed at the instance of Mr. John P. Townsend, of New York, a well-known authority concerning savings banks and an associate of the International Committee, which proposes to hold a conference at Paris, in July, 1889, to consider the status and result of such institutions throughout the world. The American Committee will continue and complete its reports here submitted, for presentation and preservation at Paris, in July next, and also at the Saratoga meeting of September, 1889.

Download or read book The Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion written by Leonard C. MacLean and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the definitive treatment of fortune's formula or the Kelly capital growth criterion as it is often called. The strategy is to maximize long run wealth of the investor by maximizing the period by period expected utility of wealth with a logarithmic utility function. Mathematical theorems show that only the log utility function maximizes asymptotic long run wealth and minimizes the expected time to arbitrary large goals. In general, the strategy is risky in the short term but as the number of bets increase, the Kelly bettor's wealth tends to be much larger than those with essentially different strategies. So most of the time, the Kelly bettor will have much more wealth than these other bettors but the Kelly strategy can lead to considerable losses a small percent of the time. There are ways to reduce this risk at the cost of lower expected final wealth using fractional Kelly strategies that blend the Kelly suggested wager with cash. The various classic reprinted papers and the new ones written specifically for this volume cover various aspects of the theory and practice of dynamic investing. Good and bad properties are discussed, as are fixed-mix and volatility induced growth strategies. The relationships with utility theory and the use of these ideas by great investors are featured.
