  • Krooss on Executive Opinion

  • J. R. T. Hughes
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 May 2010, pp. 166-172

  • In Executive Opinion, Herman Krooss analyzed American business thought in this century and found that the country's business and labor leaders, statesmen, journalists, and economists, did not have very profound insights on most of the great issues of their day. He also concluded that although in the past there was considerable diversity of executive opinion, the differences have decreased in our own time due to the decline of the entrepreneurial leader. Executive Opinion is a disquieting and dispiriting book which will long stand as a starkly honest comment on the twentieth century and as a monument to Herman Krooss' insight into the economic development of this country.

  • Forgotten Men of Money: Private Bankers in Early U.S. History

  • Richard Sylla
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 May 2010, pp. 173-188

  • Historical accounts of banking developments in the pre-1860 period of U.S. history focus almost exclusively on banking institutions chartered by state and federal governments. Private, unincorporated banks, although known to have existed, are generally ignored as either unimportant numerically or not truly commercial banks in terms of their functions. This paper draws on a variety of literary and quantitative evidence to infer that such views are perhaps in error. Some potential implications of the findings for antebellum banking and monetary history are essayed.

Papers Presented at the Thirty-Fifth Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association

  • Domestic and International Integration of the London Money Market, 1731–1789

  • Robert V. Eagly, V. Kerry Smith
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 May 2010, pp. 198-212

  • The purpose of this study is to provide a quantitatively-based description of the main trends in the domestic structure and international position of the London money market during the eighteenth century. Using monthly data for the years 1731 to 1789, the findings supported the general hypothesis of the existence of a trend toward increased association between the money markets during the course of the century, but at the same time indicated variation in the inter-market relationships between sub-periods.
