Download or read book Commonplace Books and Reading in Georgian England written by David Allan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering exploration of Georgian men and women's experiences as readers explores their use of commonplace books for recording favourite passages and reflecting upon what they had read, revealing forgotten aspects of their complicated relationship with the printed word. It shows how indebted English readers often remained to techniques for handling, absorbing and thinking about texts that were rooted in classical antiquity, in Renaissance humanism and in a substantially oral culture. It also reveals how a series of related assumptions about the nature and purpose of reading influenced the roles that literature played in English society in the ages of Addison, Johnson and Byron; how the habits and procedures required by commonplacing affected readers' tastes and so helped shape literary fashions; and how the experience of reading and responding to texts increasingly encouraged literate men and women to imagine themselves as members of a polite, responsible and critically aware public.

Download or read book The Merchant Bankers written by Joseph Wechsberg and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is a collection of casual articles about the seemingly forbidding subject of merchant banking and about some of the world’s most outstanding and venerable merchant bankers — Hambros, Barings, Warburg, in London; Mattioli in Milan; Abs in Frankfurt; Lehman Brothers in New York; and the Rothschilds in Paris and London... Joseph Wechsberg gives the history of each of these institutions, most of which remain family controlled, and he presents profiles of the men who are or have been their guiding lights, whose very character serves to distinguish each of these mysterious citadels from the other and from lesser breeds in the more understandable area of commercial banking. The most remarkable feature of this truly fascinating book is the amount of knowledge the author brings to bear upon his subject in a most unobtrusive way. The articles are rich in information and a pleasure to read.” — Kirkus “Mr. Wechsberg... has selected the names of seven merchant banks and bankers and written the story of each with a sparkling lucidity that is reminiscent of New Yorker Profiles... Mr. Wechsberg’s sketches of men and institutions make good reading.” — Saturday Review “New Yorker Correspondent Joseph Wechsberg[’s]... stories have a richness of color and some details of remarkable deals that have turned money into factories, jobs and useful products for everybody’s compound interest.” — Time Magazine

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Banker's Common-Place Book The Profits to a Bank from its Bank Notes and Deposits. - A bank which should possess a capital limited to a hundred thousand dollars, could lend only a hundred thousand dollars, if it possessed neither bank notes of its own creation, nor deposits of other persons' money hence, such a bank could gain but six per cent. The year on its capital, if its loans were made on securities that would mature ixl sixty days, or but seven per cent. If its loans were made on longer securities. But from this six or seven per cent. Would have to be deducted, the salaries of the bank's officers, the rent of its banking house, its stationery, el, taxes, &c., so as to leave of its income, to be divided among its stockholders, not more than from three to five per cent. The year, a dividend smaller than the productiveness of capital in other occupations, and, consequent ly, destructive to the continuance of banking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Banking: New and Enlarged In the preface to the first edition was fully set forth the origin of this work; As there explained, a consider able portion Of Part I, relating to Banks of Deposit and Discounts, was derived from the Bankers' Commonplace Book, a work written by an experienced bank officer and possessing great merit. Since his day, however, many changes have been introduced into banking, and his work, though still worth reading, does not adequately deal with the conditions that now confront the banking world. So, nearly all taken from that work has been omitted, except a part of the chapter relating to the duties of the president and a few paragraphs pertaining to directors.

Download or read book 13 Bankers written by Simon Johnson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of its key role in creating the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, the American banking industry has grown bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks whose assets amount to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, this oligarchy proved it could first hold the global economy hostage and then use its political muscle to fight off meaningful reform. 13 Bankers brilliantly charts the rise to power of the financial sector and forcefully argues that we must break up the big banks if we want to avoid future financial catastrophes. Updated, with additional analysis of the government’s recent attempt to reform the banking industry, this is a timely and expert account of our troubled political economy.
