Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Banking Reform This volume is intended to furnish a plain, untechnical exposition of the defects of our present banking and currency system, together with a discussion of the remedies. Not since the Civil War has the country been confronted with a monetary and banking question of greater importance to business prosperity. The adequacy of the banking system affects the everyday existence of the laborer, farmer and merchant. The unnecessary expense of obtaining credit under a bad banking system is borne by the borrower; the impossibility of getting loans in a time of panic shuts up factory and shop and falls most severely upon the wage-earner who loses his employment. Unemployment is largely increased by financial panics. The reason for the existence of the National Citizens´ League, which is made up of business men, is found in the fact that the reform affects the borrowing business man more than the lending bank; the bank can always protect itself by sacrificing the borrower. There is practically no class in the community not directly concerned in the outcome of this campaign of education. This book explains the effects of our banking system and of its reform on every class. It has long been seen that our currency is needlessly inelastic; that our credit system is even more dangerously inelastic; that our large gold supply is ineffectively used; that the scattering of reserves forbids co-operative action by the banks in times of stress; that our rigid reserve system even breeds panics; that state banks and trust companies are doing commercial banking but without coöperation with national banks; that our Independent Sub-Treasury often attacks the reserves of banks at times of danger and works without business-like economy and efficiency; that idle funds of banks drift to New York and on call loans feed stock speculation; and that our trade is greatly hampered by lack of American banking facilities in foreign countries.
