Fifty Years in Wall Street (Summarized Edition)

Enriched edition. Wall Street history and high finance: a 19th-century investment banking memoir and analysis of American stock market evolution

Studies in Banking and Financial History

Finance and Modernization centres on a set of historical developments and problems typified by the long history of the Ã-sterreichische Creditanstalt and its successor organizations, and opens the way to compare and contrast experiences throughout Central and Western Europe and also on other continents. The structure of this volume reflects the changing role and nature of banks as economies become industrialized and modernized. Although banks adapt to the needs of an industrializing economy, at the same time, industrialization influences the manner in which banking systems grow and the structures which they adopt. Beginning with studies of the Austrian banks, their development and their crises, the volume then moves on to look at case studies of important aspects of financial activity - German stock markets, railroad investment, and information networks. This is followed by a section on country studies of banking modernization in Sweden, the Netherlands and Greece. Finally, the collection concludes with two chapters, one on banking in China and the other on banking in India, certainly both of intrinsic interest and of importance in an era of globalization. Professor Teichova, one of the great scholars in the field, concludes with reflections on the individual contributions and the general problems addressed in this book.

A Transnational and Transcontinental Perspective for the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Finance and Modernization

&lt;b&gt;The fascinating story behind the company that revolutionized the financial world&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Catching Lightning in a Bottle&lt;/i&gt; traces the complete history of Merrill Lynch and the company's substantial impact on the world of finance, from the birth of the once-mighty company to its inauspicious end. Throughout its ninety-four year history, Merrill Lynch revolutionized finance by bringing Wall Street to Main Street, operating under a series of guidelines known as the Principles. These values allowed the company to gain the trust of small investors by putting the clients' interests first, driving a business trajectory that expanded capital markets and fueled the growth of the American post-war economy. Written by the son of Merrill Lynch co-founder Winthrop H. Smith, this book describes the creation and evolution of the company from Charlie Merrill's one-man shop in 1914 to its acquisition by Bank of America in 2008.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Author Winthrop H. Smith Jr. spent twenty-eight years at the company his father co-founded, bringing a unique perspective to bear in telling the story of the company that democratized the stock market and eventually fell from its lofty perch.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Learn why the industry initially scoffed at Charles Merrill's "radical" investment ideas&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Discover the origin of the Principles, and how they drove operations for nearly a century&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Find out why the author left a successful Wall Street career, and why it was such a smart move&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Examine the culture and values that built Merrill Lynch into one of the world's most successful and respected companies&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Revolutionary vision is rare, and enduring success is even more so. When a single organization demonstrates both of those characteristics, it is felt throughout the world. Discover the fascinating story behind Merrill Lynch and the men who built it from an insider's perspective in &lt;i&gt;Catching Lightning in a Bottle.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Routledge Studies in the History of Economics

Arthur Spiethoff, an economist of the German Historical School of Economics, is best known for his theory of the business cycle. Despite him calling for unified reading of his work, his epistemological thinking has received less attention. This book addresses that gap by analysing his theory of the business cycle in the light of those views.

This volume is based on papers given at the 2005 conference of the European Association for Banking and Financial History in Vienna, hosted by the Bank Austria Creditanstalt, successor institution to the Ã-sterreichische Creditanstalt.

Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

It is clear even to casual observation that economies evolve from year to year and over centuries. Yet mainstream economic theory assumes that economies always move towards equilibrium. One consequence of this is that mainstream theory is unable to deal with economic history. 


The Evolution of Economies provides a clear account of how economies evolve under a process of support-bargaining and money-bargaining. Both support-bargaining and money-bargaining are situation-related - people determine their interests and actions by reference to their present circumstances. This gives the bargaining system a natural evolutionary dynamic. Societies evolve from situation to situation. Historical change follows this evolutionary course.


A central chapter of the book applies the new theory in a re-evaluation of the industrial revolution in Britain, showing how specialist money-bargaining agencies, in the form of companies, evolved profitable formats and displaced landowners as the leading sources of employment and economic necessities. Companies took advantage of the evolution of technology to establish effective formats.


The book also seeks to establish how it came about that a 'mainstream' theory was developed that is so wildly at odds with the observable features of economic history and economic exchange. Theory-making is described as a process of 'intellectual support-bargaining' in which theory is shaped to the interests of its makers. The work of major classical and neoclassical economists is contested as incompatible with the idea of an evolving money-bargaining system. The book reviews attempts to derive an evolutionary economic theory from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.


Neoclassical economic theory has had enormous influence on the governance of societies, principally through its theoretical endorsement of the benefits of 'free markets'. An evolutionary account of economic processes should change the basis of debate. The theory presented here will be of interest immediately to all economists, whether evolutionary, heterodox or neoclassical. It will facilitate the work of economic historians, who complain that current theory gives no guidance for their historical investigations. Beyond the confines of professional theory-making, many will find it a revelatory response to questions that have hitherto gone unanswered.

The Evolution of Economies

Routledge Library Editions: Environmental and Natural Resource Economics

Originally published in 1989. Professor Robinson begins by examining natural resource classification and the nature of return in mining, giving particular emphasis to different sources of long-run price changes in mining and their relevance for user cost and the economic treatment for exhaustible resources. He then traces the development of the economic theory of exhaustible resources from the last quarter of the eighteenth century to the first quarter of the twentieth, documenting the differing views of various authors about the future availability of mineral resources and the extent of user cost involved in their exploitation. He identifies a link between the perceived availability of exhaustible resources and the nature of the economic theory used to explain their exploitation. This book should be of interest to students and researchers of Economic Theory and Policy.

Fifty years in Wall Street

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman explores the intricate relationship between gender and the economic structures of society at the turn of the 20th century. This groundbreaking work deftly combines sociological analysis with feminist ideology, as Gilman critiques the traditional domestic sphere that restricts women's economic independence. Employing a clear, persuasive prose style, she argues for the necessity of women'Äôs participation in the workforce, positing that their economic autonomy is essential for societal progress. As a pivotal text in the lens of feminist economics, it challenges prevailing notions of womanhood and advocates for a redefinition of women's roles beyond mere homemakers. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was influenced by her own experiences of social and economic confinement; her divorce and subsequent advocacy for women's rights fueled her passion for reform. Educated in a progressive environment, Gilman had firsthand knowledge of the limitations imposed on women, which led her to seek a deeper understanding of the socio-economic factors that oppressed them. Her innovative writings were informed by her earlier works, including her influential short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," making her a prominent voice in early feminist literature. "Women and Economics" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of gender and economic theory. Gilman's incisive analysis remains relevant, encouraging modern readers to reconsider the channels through which gender inequality persists. Her thought-provoking arguments not only enrich our understanding of historical contexts but also inspire future dialogue on women'Äôs rights and economic empowerment.
