Now that his life was almost at an end, Senator O'Rawn had to share the mystery he had kept secret for so many years with someone else.

Book Synopsis The Tontine: A History by : Andrew McDiarmid
Download or read book The Tontine: A History written by Andrew McDiarmid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the last decades of the seventeenth century until the beginning of the twentieth, the tontine, in one form or another, was a ubiquitous financial instrument. As a revenue-raising tool of governments it supported the cost of war, and as a private capital-raising instrument it provided funding for civic improvement and urban development projects. While the tontine is known today mainly through fictional works (Robert Louis Stevenson, Agatha Christie, and The Simpsons among others), this book tells the history of how it evolved from a public revenue-raising scheme into a popular private investment and infrastructure financing tool, before it was displaced by cheaper forms of borrowing. Focusing on the early development of the tontine, and with European and North American case studies, the narrative brings to life the story of a little-understood financial innovation. This concise and engaging book is an ideal introduction to the history of the tontine for all readers interested in financial history.
