Book Description
Unassuming but formidable, American maritime insurers used their position at the pinnacle of global trade to shape the new nation. The international information they gathered and the capital they generated enabled them to play central roles in state building and economic development. During the Revolution, they helped the U.S. negotiate foreign loans, sell state debts, and establish a single national bank. Afterward, they increased their influence by lending money to the federal government and to its citizens. Even as federal and state governments began to encroach on their domain, maritime insurers adapted, preserving their autonomy and authority through extensive involvement in the formation of commercial law. Leveraging their claims to unmatched expertise, they operated free from government interference while simultaneously embedding themselves into the nation's institutional fabric. By the early nineteenth century, insurers were no longer just risk assessors. They were nation builders and market makers. Deeply and imaginatively researched, Underwriters of the United States uses marine insurers to reveal a startlingly original story of risk, money, and power in the founding era.

Book Description
“A digital age Edith Wharton . . . hilarious, exhilarating, and so, so clever.” –Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians **A Huffington Post, New York Post and Metro Summer Reading Pick** The Underwriting is a tantalizing glimpse into the boardrooms and bedrooms of six young hopefuls behind a Silicon Valley IPO that will launch them into the exclusive world of the über-wealthy—if it doesn’t destroy them first. Each of them is looking for success, but they may have to nail more than the deal to get to the top. Wall Street hotshot and playboy Todd Kent is not surprised when Hook’s eccentric founder taps him to lead the deal of the decade: taking the multibillion-dollar dating app public. Hook has been helping Todd score with women since its inception and now it’s poised to make his career. Given just two months to pull it off, Todd assembles his investment banking team—brainy Neha, party-boy Beau, and, a surprise choice, old college flame Tara Taylor. Tara runs six miles every morning, never eats after nine p.m., is the first to arrive and last to leave the office, but is starting to wonder why she bothers. When Todd asks her to help with Hook’s IPO, she sees her opportunity to break through the glass ceiling and justify six boyfriendless years of sacrifices for her career. She quickly realizes the dating app has more in store for her than a bigger bonus. The stars are finally aligning for Nick Winthrop. Rejected from SAE rush at Stanford by Todd Kent, Nick is now a Harvard Business School graduate and Hook’s CFO, with a chip on his shoulder even bigger than his ego. Now that Hook is going public and $80 million is about to come his way, the life Nick knows he deserves is finally at his fingertips. But when a young woman dies, it threatens to throw the deal—and the lives of those involved—into a thrilling tailspin. The Underwriting is an insightful and prescient glimpse into the inner workings of two generation-defining worlds and might be the most accurate depiction yet of the tech generation and the power it holds to shape the future.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...the capital of the company is invested in undoubted securities, and that a sufficiency of surplus is held to provide an ample re-insurance fund for outstanding liabilities. The value of membership is such that there have been many instances where companies sought to establish their reputation in the business community by becoming members of the Board. Too stringent regulations cannot be adopted to save the good name of the Board from being used as a cover for frauds upon the insuring community. During the past year one company, an early member, decided to discontinue business, which it did, after honorably providing for all of its outstanding liabilities for pending risks, and paying all claims against it in full. It had never fully recovered from the hurt caused by the Boston fire. Two companies having ceased to transact an agency business have withdrawn, and one company has been expelled for persistent and wilful violation of National Board rules and rates. Experience has proved that all the officers of the Board who are directly engaged in its management, should be members of the Executive Committee exofficio, as many of the duties imposed upon them by their offices render it important that they should have a voice in its deliberations. 1 therefore propose a change in the By-Laws, so that the Secretary and Treasurer of the Board can be made ex-officio members of the Executive Committee, with all the privileges attached to such membership. LEGISLATION AND TAXATION. That the agitation of these important subjects by us so far as they related to our own interests has been productive of good is evidenced by the interest taken by the daily press of the country whenever a bill has been introduced into the legislatures which seriously affected...
