Download or read book The Political Development of American Debt Relief written by Emily Zackin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is about why debt relief was a salient political issue for so long and why it then ceased to be one. It is also about the United States' constitutional tradition, and the contradictions it embodies. Tracing the geographic, sectoral, and racial politics of debt relief over time--and examining the roles that social movements, interest groups, and constitutional interpretation played--Emily Zackin and Chloe N. Thurston show how the politics of debt relief has interacted with race and other social hierarchies that have conditioned both state action and debtors' opportunities to mobilize. Although the twentieth and early twenty-first century saw the erosion of debt protection, history reminds us that Americans once mounted large-scale grassroots campaigns for debt relief. These activists made radical claims about economic justice, and they reshaped constitutional law and the American state"--

Benton, of Missouri, on the Cabinet Plan for a Federal Exchequer: Delivered in the Senate, January 13, 1842 If there Were a thousand constitutional provi sions in favor of paper money, I should sxilkhe against flit-against the thing itself, 'per so and propter. Se - On account of its own inherent baseness and vice. But the Constitution is against it clearly so upon its face; upon its history; upon its early practice; upon 11s uniform interpretation. The universal expression at - fthe time of its adop tion was, that the new Government was a hard money Government, made by. Hard money men, and that it was to save the country from the curse, of paper money. This Was the universal Ian guage - this the universal sentiment, and this hard money character of the new Government was once of the great recommendations in its favor, and one 01 the chief inducements to its adoption All the° early action of the Government conformed to this ideas-all its early legislation was as true to hard money as the needle rstto the pole. The very first netot Congress for the collection of duties on im ports. Passed in the first year of the new Govern ment's existence, and enacted by the very men who had framed the Constitution - this first acttren' quired those duties to be paid in gold and silver; coin only; the word only, which is a contraction. For the old English o'nelyhbeing added to cut off the possibility of an intrusion, or an injection of a par ticle of paper money into the Treasury of: that United States. The first act for the sale of publictt lands required them to be paid for 111 speeiezl-'uthe specie circular of 1836 was only the enforcement t. Of that act; and the hard money clause in the Inde pendent Treasury was a revival of these two origi nal and fundamental revenue laws. Such were the early legislative interpretations of the Constitu j tion by the men who made it; and corresponding with these for a long time after the commencement of the Government, were the interpretations of all public men, and of no one more emphatically than oi him Who is now the prominent member of this, Administration, and to whose hand public opinion attributes the elaborate defence of the Cabinet Ex chequer plan which has been sent down to us. In two speeches, delivered by that gentleman in the House of Representatives in the year 1816, he thus expressed himself on the hard money character of our Government, and on the fully and danger of the paper system.

Download or read book Born Losers written by Scott A. Sandage and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes somebody a Loser, a person doomed to unfulfilled dreams and humiliation? Nobody is born to lose, and yet failure embodies our worst fears. The Loser is our national bogeyman, and his history over the past two hundred years reveals the dark side of success, how economic striving reshaped the self and soul of America. From colonial days to the Columbine tragedy, Scott Sandage explores how failure evolved from a business loss into a personality deficit, from a career setback to a gauge of our self-worth. From hundreds of private diaries, family letters, business records, and even early credit reports, Sandage reconstructs the dramas of real-life Willy Lomans. He unearths their confessions and denials, foolish hopes and lost faith, sticking places and changing times. Dreamers, suckers, and nobodies come to life in the major scenes of American history, like the Civil War and the approach of big business, showing how the national quest for success remade the individual ordeal of failure. Born Losers is a pioneering work of American cultural history, which connects everyday attitudes and anxieties about failure to lofty ideals of individualism and salesmanship of self. Sandage's storytelling will resonate with all of us as it brings to life forgotten men and women who wrestled with The Loser--the label and the experience--in the days when American capitalism was building a nation of winners.
