Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... On November 6, 1840, Governor Yell in his inaugural address said: "The banks of the country are stretching forth their countless arms to grasp all that may be worth preserving, and too often we will find legislative interposition either tacitly approving or openly justifying their acts of usurpation--and still we submit to the most odious and unjust oppression without seeming to comprehend the heartless tyranny with which we are burdened. "Are we ready to see the price of all our staple products raised and depressed at the will and caprice of these corporations, with their paper depreciated from twenty to fifty per cent., discount, to suit the convenience of stockholders and debtors, and the avarice of brokers and speculators? Rightly to remedy the existing evils, as far as prudence and sound policy will dictate, should be your first object. Let the strong arm of lawful authority interpose to teach brokers and stock jobbers a salutary lesson, who would pawn the industry and property of the country. Let no political or personal consideration swerve you from a scrutinizing and fearless discharge of your duty, to enforce all proper means to bring back your depreciated State paper to a sound specie standard; or lay the axe at the root of the evil.

Book Description
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.
