The War and Wall Street (Classic Reprint): An Address Delivered Before the City Club at Rochester, N. Y., Nov; 14, 1914 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The War and Wall Street examines how wartime pressures reshape finances, railroads, and the economy in America. This address analyzes the tension between railway credit, government regulation, and the broader national welfare, stressing that stable transportation is crucial to national prosperity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the impact of WWI on Wall Street, focusing on stock markets and the conditions they faced during the international crisis. It discusses how the war's outbreak created a financial panic and the ultimate closing of the New York Stock Exchange. It explores the difficulties faced by American bankers as they attempted to meet an immediate and inevitable drain of gold, as well as the challenges posed by the nation's substantial debt to Europe. The book also examines the impact on the American railway industry, highlighting the need for increased revenue to maintain and improve infrastructure, while facing political hostility and excessive regulation. The author argues for a need to restore railway credit and suggests potential solutions, such as a federal charter and relief from dual control and excessive regulation.
