A Financial History of the United States: From Christopher Columbus to the Robber Barons (1492-1900)
By:Jerry W. Markham
Published on 2002 by M.E. Sharpe

The first comprehensive financial history of the United States in more than thirty years. Accessible to undergraduate level readers, it focuses on the growth and expansion of banking, securities, and insurance from the colonial period right up to the incredible growth of the stock market during the 1990s and the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. The author traces the origins of American finance to the older societies of Europe and Northern Africa, and shows how English merchants transferred their financial systems to America. He explains how financial matters dominated the founding and development of the colonies, and how financial concerns incited the Revolution. And he shows how the Civil War began the transformation of America from a small economy largely dependent on foreign capital into a complex capitalist society. From the Civil War, the nation's financial history breaks down into periods of frenzied speculation, quiet growth, periodic panics, and furious periods of expansion, right up through the incredible growth of the stock market during the 1990s.

Financial Liberalization in Developing Countries High quality books Financial Liberalization in Developing Countries By:Abdullahi Dahir Ahmed,Sardar M. N. Islam Published on 2009-10-03 by Springer Science & Business Media The recent global ?nancial crisis has made ?nancial liberalization a topic of great academic and practical interest.

For that purpose, the book ...

Too Much Is Not Enough High quality books Too Much Is Not Enough By:Robert W. Kolb Published on 2012-08-02 by Oxford University Press The scholarly literature on executive compensation is vast. As such, this literature provides an unparalleled resource for studying the interaction between the setting of incentives (or the attempted setting of incentives) and the behavior that is actually adduced. From this literature, there are several reasons for believing that one can set incentives in executive compensation with a high rate of success in guiding CEO behavior, and one might expect CEO compensation to be a textbook example of the successful use of incentives. Also, as executive compensation has been studied intensively in the academic literature, we might also expect the success of incentive compensation to be well-documented. Historically, however, this has been very far from the case. In Too Much Is Not Enough, Robert W. Kolb studies the performance of incentives in executive compen...
