American Commercial Banks in Corporate Finance, 1929-1941 : A Study in Banking Concentrations (Financial Sector of the American Economy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book argues with facts and figures that a small group of New York banks, by means of term loans and working in close collaboration with their affiliated life insurance companies, exerted a strong influence over the supply of money and credit, and thus over the economy, throughout the years of the Depression. This study analyzes the growth of term loan under the depression, the concentration of the loans in a handful of powerful New York banks, the interplay between these banks and large life insurance companies in the capital market, and the resulting economic consequences. It also details the changes that took place in the leadership within the financial hierarchy during the depression: the J.D. Rockefeller interests replaced the Morgan-First National interests as the country`s dominant financial power- a change that has escaped previous scholarly notice. Originally used as a credit instrument to finance distressed corporations during the prolonged depression, term… [detailed...]

American Conservatism: Thinking It, Teaching It

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book offers a rare opportunity to read about how a scholar?s teaching informs his research, in this case an examination of the nature of American conservatism. It is based on an interdisciplinary senior seminar Lyons taught in Spring 2006. His teaching log, including student comments from an electronic conferencing system, gives a vivid sense of the daily frustrations and triumphs. Lyons reflects on some of the most difficult issues in higher education today, such as how to handle racism and political passions in the classroom, as well as how a teacher presents his own political convictions. Lyons begins with the premise that most universities have been negligent in helping undergraduates understand a movement that has shaped the political landscape for half a century. In addition, in a series of essays that frame the teaching log, he makes the case that conservatives have too often failed to adhere to basic, Burkean principles, and that the best of conservatism has often… [detailed...]

On September 11, 2001, the seemingly impervious United States was handed a very sharp reality check. In this new atmosphere of fear and vulnerability, policy makers were forced to make national security their highest priority, implementing laws and military spending initiatives to combat the threat of international terrorism. In this volume, experts examine the many factors that shape today`s security landscape -- America`s values, the preparation of future defense leaders, the efforts to apply what we have learned from Afghanistan and Iraq to the… [detailed...]

American Dreamer: A Life of Henry A. Wallace

Publisher: —
Description: The great politician, agriculturalist, economist, author, and businessman?loved and reviled, and finally now revealed. The first full biography of Henry A. Wallace, a visionary intellectual and one of this century`s most important and controversial figures. Henry Agard Wallace was a geneticist of international renown, a prolific author, a groundbreaking economist, and a businessman whose company paved the way for a worldwide agricultural revolution. He also held two cabinet posts, served four tumultuous years as America`s wartime vice president under FDR, and waged a quixotic campaign for president in 1948. Wallace was a figure of Sphinx-like paradox: a shy man, uncomfortable in the world of politics, who only narrowly missed becoming president of the United States, the scion of prominent Midwestern Republicans and the philosophical voice of New Deal liberalism, loved by millions as the Prophet of the Common Man, and reviled by millions more as a dangerous, misguided radical….
