		<description><![CDATA[THERE is an increasing feeling throughout the United States that there has developed in recent years a power with which the Government is unable to cope, and which is beyond the control of the public. The steps by which this power has been centred in the hands of a few men are little known or understood by the public at large, and the vast majority of the American people have no part in them, except that they are victims of a system by which they are legally robbed, and by which (if it is not stopped) they will be politically enslaved. There has been widespread inquiry, which has sought to get at the root of this hitherto undefined evil. It has been considered that the banking system in America was the basis upon which this evil was founded. There has been a vast amount of legislation for the control of banks and banking, as a means by which the great aggregations of capital in the United States might be kept within reasonable bounds. The difficulty with all of the inquiry and all of the legislation is that it has failed to measure the scope of this aggregated capital or to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[FOREWORD The New York Stock Exchange can The be said to have been begun 125 years. Beginning ago 100 years of which it has of the passed under a formulated Constitution. Its beginning was three years after the adoption of the Constitution of the United States and the first meeting of Congress, three years after George Washington first took the oath of office as President; before coal had come into common use, while house were still lighted by candles; 33 years before the first steam railroad; 53 years before the first telegraph message; 64 years before the first ocean cable; 74 years before the first telephone when the whole population of the country was less than that of New York City now; when the country&#8217;s area was not one-fifth of what it is at present; when not even the wildest dreamer could have imagined trains running at sixty miles an hour, wireless telegraphy, articulated speech transmitted thousands of miles, aerial navigation, or the gigantic business enterprises of the minute. The Exchange is the great security market of this country; the business on the done upon its floor is wide-spread Exchange in its interest and effect. The Hughes Committee reported in [...]

		<description><![CDATA[CYCLES AND STOCK MARKET RECORDS AN English economist whose unaffected humanity always made him remarkably readable, the late William Stanley Jevons, propounded the theory of a connection between commercial panics and spots on the sun. He gave a series of dates from the beginning of the seventeenth century, showing an apparent coincidence between the two phenomena. It is entirely human and likable that he belittled a rather ugly commercial squeeze of two centuries ago because there were not then a justifying number of spots on the sun. Writing in the New York Times early in 1905, in comment on the Jevons theory, I said that while Wall Street in its heart believed in a cycle of panic and prosperity, it did not care if there were enough spots on the sun to make a straight flush. Youth is temerarious and irreverent. Perhaps it would have been more polite to say that the accidental periodic association proved nothing, like the exact coincidence of presidential elections with leap years.

		<description><![CDATA[INTRODUCTION IN an old Pennsylvanian almanac of the eighteenth century two qualities were postulated for success in business: first, application or industry, and second, thrift or frugality. The first without the second often leads to nothing. &#8220;A man if he knows not how to save as he gets, may keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a groat at last.&#8221; The old proverb, A fat kitchen makes a lean mil, should remind us moderns that not only excess in eating and drinking, but luxurious and expensive follies of all kinds may drive the hardest worker into debt and difficulty, until after long enjoyment of a good income he ends his career in poverty and dependence. This book is not concerned, however, with the moral value of thrift, or even with the advantages which savings bestow upon the individual. Without savings indeed, or without an inherited fortune, no one can feel quite independent. This is a strong and sufficient moral ground for not spending all that one earns. But our particular business is neither with the first process of earning, nor with the second of saving, but with a third. We have to consider neither [...]

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE While the popular impression is probably the reverse, yet it is an undeniable fact that a far vaster sum of money is annually lost in this country through unwise investment, than through pure speculation. While many fortunes are constantly jeopardized and dissipated through what is known as speculation in stocks, bonds, grain-futures and like ventures, yet the many sums, large and small, which annually leave the pockets of actual investors are far greater in amount. Indeed, I would almost say that the losses through &#8220;unwise investment&#8221; are easily ten-fold the losses occasioned through mere speculation on the exchanges. And furthermore, the losses incurred through unwise investing are far more important to the community at large ; for while speculative losses are in a sense anticipated, or at least partly anticipated, the losses through mistaken investments are usually unexpected and unprepared for. Speculative losses often represent the loss of money easily gained, either through former speculation or from other sources, but the average loss of the investing public is generally a loss of hard-earned or industriously accumulated savings; and therefore such losses are felt far more deeply by the community. The art of wise investing involves two primary motives. The [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Like the English Constitution, the English credit system is a living thing, that has grown out of its past and is growing into its future. Past, present, and future are thus one continuing process, and no one can hope to understand its present, still less to peer into its future, unless he knows something of the past that is part of them. Bagehot&#8217;s &#8220;Lombard Street&#8221; lights up, with the fire of its author&#8217;s genius, the road that we have travelled, and helps us to see where we are and to wonder whither we are going. Its usefulness, as a work of reference and a standard of comparison, has been enhanced in this new edition by a careful revision of the Notes, carried out by Mr. A. W. Wright, a member of the staff of the Economist newspaper, long edited by Bagehot. Hartley Withers. February, 1915 INTRODUCTORY BY WALTER BAGEHOT I venture to call this Essay &#8221; Lombard Street,&#8221; and not the &#8221; Money Market,&#8221; or any such phrase, because I wish to deal, and to show that I mean to deal, with concrete realities. A notion prevails that the Money Market is something so impalpable that it can only be [...]

		<description><![CDATA[INTRODUCTION. There are times when a merchant will make almost any sacrifice to obtain ready money. He has entered into no rash speculations, and has only to meet the ordinary legitimate demands of his business, but in order to do so he is suddenly called upon to make a heavy and unexpected loss. To this he gladly submits, for he has been in terror lest no sacrifice could save him from bankruptcy and ruin. But how has this been brought about? Why has he doubted whether his banker would afford him the usual accommodation which when entering into his business engagements he had been relying upon? Or, take the case of a merchant who has a credit of 50,000 at his bankers. Why is he anxious ? The answer in both cases is that there is a run upon the banks and there is a scarcity of cash. Such a time, Mr. Goschen speaking at Leeds on the 28th January, and referring to the &#8221; Baring crisis,&#8221; told us we had &#8221; only escaped by the skin of our teeth.&#8221; He said &#8220;No fertile imagination could exaggerate the gravity of the crisis, and if I attempt to bring home to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[INTRODUCTION The object of this book is simple and direct. All people need to invest their savings from time to time. They are in the way of knowing, from professional the book. experience in finance, what securities are best worthy of attention at certain periods ; and what should be avoided, and why. Most probably they have not available the skilled advice of competent persons ; and they themselves possess but a moderate and merely general knowledge of what forms a sound investment &#8216; in spite of fluctuations of values, and of partial or extensive panics, or in what manner its soundness or inferiority should be discriminated. This book is an attempt to furnish practical guidance on these questions, and is addressed to the ordinary investor, who shuns speculation, and simply wishes to place his money in securities which, so far as foresight and caution can provide, may be reasonably free from frequent anxiety in the holding, — securities, to use a homely phrase, upon which he can sleep in comfort, with the feeling that his savings are safe in their keeping. A brief reference to the course pursued in the book will show the kind of map which it [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A WORD BEFORE READING Property, what is it? and wealth, what does it include? Who shall control it? Who shall administer it? On what terms shall it be possessed and enjoyed? These questions pulse with human interest, and the average man is wholly absorbed by them. And so he ought to be. In the very beginning it was ordained that man should have dominion over the material world. He was to &#8220;replenish the earth and subdue it.&#8221; Such a task requires, and ought to require, the whole masterful strength of his mind. The wild goat can find food and shelter, but the subjugation of the earth, the sky, and the sea — this is the task of a man. It is therefore undiscerning zeal — one had almost written unconscionable cant — which exhorts a man to think less of riches and more of religion. There is confusion here in our elemental thinking. Such exhortation does not get to the root of things at all, and it will not pierce through the pride of life that cankers at the heart of our generation. Rather must riches and religion be aligned together in common terms of one spiritual law. There is [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Background The Richest Man in Babylon is a book by George Samuel Clason which dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon. Through their experiences in business and managing household finance, the characters in the parables learn simple lessons in financial wisdom. By basing these parables in ancient times, but involving situations that modern people can understand and identify with, the author presents these lessons as timeless wisdom that is as relevant today as it was back then. The book began in 1926 as a series of informational pamphlets. Banks and insurance companies began to distribute these pamphlets, and the most famous ones were eventually compiled into this book. It was most recently reissued by Signet in 2004, and an updated version (using modern English instead of &#8220;King James&#8221; language) was issued by BN Publishing in March 2007. According to the 2002 edition book cover, more than two million copies have been sold. Book Summary The stories are laid out like Aesop’s fables: each story has a concrete point or two that becomes apparent from reading and digesting the message. These points are basic tenets of how to get ahead financially in any time, not just [...]
