A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When the natural trend of the banking of any country has been thus thwarted, time usually brings about, either by direct reform or by artificial compromises, such adjustments as are necessary to make the banking system reasonably useful to the country which it is supposed to serve. In naming the prominent causes of deflection I placed ignorance last, but perhaps it should be placed first. As the great English statesman hinted, few understand the currency, and the country which in its constructive period possessed among its citizens a genius who among his other great deeds as soldier and statesman was determined to restore the disordered finances of his country and to set in the right path for the future the great industrial agency of banking, was unusually fortunate. Such a country was the United States at the close of the eighteenth century, and such a citizen was Alexander Hamilton. He doubtless knew little about currency and banking when he began, and we can almost see his mind turning, in the weltering confusion of the time, from one expedient to another in order to find a course which was sound financially and at the same time suited to the poverty of a country possessing a depreciated currency and no capital with which to create banks.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
