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.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a lively, non-partisan dialogue between Uncle Sam and six men of various professions grappling with the complexities of establishing a financial and banking system for the United States. Running from 1862 to 1894, the formative years of the nation's financial system are brought to life through this series of discussions, in which the author does not hesitate to lay bare the realities of the time and the extraordinary stresses the system was put under during the Civil War. The topics covered include the use of credit instruments, land credit, government credit, commercial credit, bank reserves, the clearing house, and banking practices of the era. Of particular interest is the discussion on the gold standard - how it became the universally accepted standard of value, its strengths, and its perceived weaknesses. This book is both timely and timeless, shedding light on the complex decisions that shape our financial system, and revealing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330379721_0
