Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Boston Medal: A Monograph The Continental Congress, by vote passed on the 25th of March, 1776, decreed a gold medal to General Washington to commemorate his "wise and spirited conduct in the seige and acquisition of Boston." For various reasons, not the least of which was the lack of money, nothing was done for several years towards carrying this vote into execution and the matter seemed to have been forgotten, except by Washington, who, though he said nothing, in his heart felt much mortified by the neglect. As he wrote to Col. Humphreys, his friend and aide-de-camp, "My Dear Humphreys, I thank you for your attention to the medal which was voted for me; by Congress. I expected it was to have remained on the journals of that honorable Body as a dead letter, and never having hinted, - so I never intended to hint, my knowledge of such a vote, or my apprehension of the effect of it, to any one in power or in office. G. Washington. "Mount Vernon, 1st September, 1785." This is the only reference to the medal to be found in any of Washington's writings, and it is interesting as a proof that at that date he had not forgotten it and that he did attach a certain importance to the honor it implied, however little he seemed to regard it subsequently.

Download or read book The Bankers New Clothes written by Anat Admati and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg Businessweek Book of the Year Why our banking system is broken—and what we must do to fix it New bank failures have been a rude awakening for everyone who believed that the banking industry was reformed after the Global Financial Crisis—and that we’d never again have to choose between massive bailouts and financial havoc. The Bankers’ New Clothes uncovers just how little things have changed—and why banks are still so dangerous. Writing in clear language that anyone can understand, Anat Admati and Martin Hellwig debunk the false and misleading claims of bankers, regulators, politicians, academics, and others who oppose effective reform, and they explain how the banking system can be made safer and healthier. Thoroughly updated for a world where bank failures have made a dramatic return, this acclaimed and important book now features a new preface and four new chapters that expose the shortcomings of current policies and reveal how the dominance of banking even presents dangers to the rule of law and democracy itself.

Download or read book Democratizing Finance written by Marion Laboure and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are only in the early stages of a broader revolution that will impact every aspect of the global economy, including commerce and government services. Coming financial technology innovations could improve the quality of life for all people. Over the past few decades, digital technology has transformed finance. Financial technology (fintech) has enabled more people with fewer resources, in more places around the world, to take advantage of banking, insurance, credit, investment, and other financial services. Marion Laboure and Nicolas Deffrennes argue that these changes are only the tip of the iceberg. A much broader revolution is under way that, if steered correctly, will lead to huge and beneficial social change. The authors describe the genesis of recent financial innovations and how they have helped consumers in rich and poor countries alike by reducing costs, increasing accessibility, and improving convenience and efficiency. They connect the dots between early innovations in financial services and the wider revolution unfolding today. Changes may disrupt traditional financial services, especially banking, but they may also help us address major social challenges: opening new career paths for millennials, transforming government services, and expanding the gig economy in developed markets. Fintech could lead to economic infrastructure developments in rural areas and could facilitate emerging social security and healthcare systems in developing countries. The authors make this case with a rich combination of economic theory and case studies, including microanalyses of the effects of fintech innovations on individuals, as well as macroeconomic perspectives on fintech's impact on societies. While celebrating fintech's achievements to date, Laboure and Deffrennes also make recommendations for overcoming the obstacles that remain. The stakes--improved quality of life for all people--could not be higher.

It's called revenge—and they were taught by a master.
