Hamilton established the Treasury debt market, the dollar, and a central bank, while strategically prompting private entrepreneurs to establish securities markets and stock exchanges and encouraging state governments to charter a number of commercial banks and other business corporations. Yet despite a recent surge of interest in Hamilton, U.S. financial modernization has not been fully recognised as one of his greatest achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlexander Hamilton on Finance, Credit, and Debt\u003c\/em\u003e traces the development of Hamilton's financial thinking, policies, and actions through a selection of his writings. The financial historians and Hamilton experts Richard Sylla and David J. Cowen provide commentary that demonstrates the impact Hamilton had on the modern economic system, guiding readers through Hamilton's distinguished career. The book showcases Hamilton's thoughts on the nation's founding, the need for a strong central government, confronting problems such as a depreciating paper currency and weak public credit, and the architecture of the financial system. His great state papers on public credit, the national bank, the mint, and manufactures instructed reform of the nation's finances and jumpstarted economic growth. Hamilton practised what he preached: he played a key role in the founding of three banks and a manufacturing corporation, and his deft political manoeuvring and economic savvy saved the fledgling republic's economy during the country's first full-blown financial crisis in 1792. Sylla and Cowen centre Hamilton's writings on finance among his most important accomplishments, making his brilliance as an economic policy maker accessible to all interested in this Founding Father's legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470035108076,"sku":"9780231184571","price":31.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780231184571-alexander-hamilton-on-finance-credit-and-debt.jpg?v=1775208254"},{"product_id":"a-history-of-interest-rates-by-richard-sylla-9780471732839","title":"A History of Interest Rates","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA History of Interest Rates\u003c\/i\u003e presents a very readable account of interest rate trends and lending practices over four millennia of economic history.
