CHAPTER VI THE REGULATION OF PAWNBROKING MOTIVE FOE LEGISLATION ALL civilized nations to-day have, at some time or other, found it necessary to exercise control over pawnbroking transactions.1 This is *" equally true of the several states that make up our 1 In " Motive for Legislation," the author has sought to define the reasons which prompted others to bring about pawnbroking legislation. He himself has not discovered any real bases for government regulation of interest rates or of any other terms of the pawn contract, any more than for regulating the cost of any other commodity. The author has considered the objects of regulation only in deference to the general belief that the business needs regulation. He believes that if all usury laws were repealed, to make place for new laws, permitting the parties to a loan transaction to fix their own terms, it would redound to the benefit of all: Provided, that on loans of sums up to $50, or even as high as $100, where any security is given to the borrower, the law should make some regulation of the business until such time as competition brings about proper conditions. Had pawnbroking not been frowned upon it would have been an enterprise unusually attractive for popular investment, and competition would have long since brought about proper conditions for the borrower. His recommendations are suggested by a long and close study of usury and pawnbroking laws and of their effects. country. How the states have met the problem can be determined only by a study of the pawnbroking statutes to ascertain whether they possess the elements essential to bring about what is unquestionably the objects of proper pawnbroking regulation. And before this may be done it should be known that the /' state, when...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of pawnbroking in the United States from the nation’s founding through the Great Depression, In Hock demonstrates that the pawnshop was essential to the rise of capitalism. The class of working poor created by this economic tide could make ends meet only, Wendy Woloson argues, by regularly pawning household objects to supplement inadequate wages. Nonetheless, businessmen, reformers, and cultural critics claimed that pawnshops promoted vice, and employed anti-Semitic stereotypes to cast their proprietors as greedy and cold-hearted. Using personal correspondence, business records, and other rich archival sources to uncover the truth behind the rhetoric, Woloson brings to life a diverse cast of characters and shows that pawnbrokers were in fact shrewd businessmen, often from humble origins, who possessed sophisticated knowledge of a wide range of goods in various resale markets. A much-needed new look at a misunderstood institution, In Hock is both a first-rate academic study of a largely ignored facet of the capitalist economy and a resonant portrait of the economic struggles of generations of Americans.

Download or read book Financing the American Dream written by Lendol Calder and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once there was a golden age of American thrift, when citizens lived sensibly within their means and worked hard to stay out of debt. The growing availability of credit in this century, however, has brought those days to an end--undermining traditional moral virtues such as prudence, diligence, and the delay of gratification while encouraging reckless consumerism. Or so we commonly believe. In this engaging and thought-provoking book, Lendol Calder shows that this conception of the past is in fact a myth. Calder presents the first book-length social and cultural history of the rise of consumer credit in America. He focuses on the years between 1890 and 1940, when the legal, institutional, and moral bases of today's consumer credit were established, and in an epilogue takes the story up to the present. He draws on a wide variety of sources--including personal diaries and letters, government and business records, newspapers, advertisements, movies, and the words of such figures as Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, and P. T. Barnum--to show that debt has always been with us. He vigorously challenges the idea that consumer credit has eroded traditional values. Instead, he argues, monthly payments have imposed strict, externally reinforced disciplines on consumers, making the culture of consumption less a playground for hedonists than an extension of what Max Weber called the "iron cage" of disciplined rationality and hard work. Throughout, Calder keeps in clear view the human face of credit relations. He re-creates the Dickensian world of nineteenth-century pawnbrokers, takes us into the dingy backstairs offices of loan sharks, into small-town shops and New York department stores, and explains who resorted to which types of credit and why. He also traces the evolving moral status of consumer credit, showing how it changed from a widespread but morally dubious practice into an almost universal and generally accepted practice by World War II. Combining clear, rigorous arguments with a colorful, narrative style, Financing the American Dream will attract a wide range of academic and general readers and change how we understand one of the most important and overlooked aspects of American social and economic life.
