Everybody's Guide to Money Matters | by William Cotton- The Author, emboldened by a Banking experience of over forty years,
offers this little work to the public in the hope that, elementary
though it be, it may prove acceptable to many persons of both
sexes.
The work has been prepared chiefly for the use of women, a vast
proportion of whom are brought up in utter ignorance of money matters
in the simplest form, though otherwise they may be highly
accomplished.
The subject, it must be allowed, is not a fascinating one, but
there are periods in the lives of most persons when some knowledge of
money matters may be useful and even necessary.
- Elementary Principles of Economics | by Richard T. Ely and George Ray Wicker
- A text-book to teachers and students of economics
- Economics In Two Volumes: Volume I. Economic Principles | by Frank A. Fetter
- This text makes practical application of the theories treated in "Principles of Economics" to such matters as money, banking, international trade, labor organizations, agricultural economics, trusts, taxation, insurance, immigration, and similar topics. The book was completely revised in 1922; hence it considers economic matters in the light of the changed conditions following the World War. The volume is equipped with charts, diagrams, statistical tables, reference reading lists, and other numerous helps for both the teacher and the student.
- Economics In Two Volumes: Volume II. Modern Economic Problems | by Frank A. Fetter
- In this revised edition every chapter has been rewritten with reference to the momentous events that have filled the years since 1916, when the first edition of this work appeared. The statements of facts and figures have so far as possible been brought down to date. The materials formerly constituting the first two chapters have been distributed under other headings. New sections appear in every chapter, and new chapters have been added in the treatment of money, insurance, transportation, and socialism. Numerous charts have been added which, it is hoped, will be helpful to the reader. Most of these have been reproduced from charts prepared for the use of the author's classes, and others have been taken from various sources. A brief list of references has been appended to each chapter.
- Outlines of Public Finance | by Merlin Harold Hunter
- Interest in fiscal problems has grown rapidly. Twenty-five years ago the subject matter of Public Finance aroused comparatively little discussion. While public expenditures were continually on the increase, wealth and population were increasing more rapidly, so that no greater per capita burden was felt by the citizen. To-day the situation is different. The demands upon the public purse have become so large, because of extended and increased governmental activities, that the burden of taxes has begun to be felt, and in many cases it has begun to cut deeply. A few decades ago, therefore, the principles of Public Finance primarily commanded the interest of public officials, while at present the citizen upon whom the tax burdens fall is also interested. He is beginning to ask what is being done with the funds he has paid in taxes, whether he is paying more than his share, whether the funds are properly handled, and what can be done to secure a better fiscal system.
- Commerce and Finance | by O. M. Powers
- The book is a combination of history and economics. It relates to both the past and present. In the first 146 pages of the book, embracing a history of commerce and of banking, a foundation is laid for the proper consideration of the subjects which follow. In dealing with historical facts we have aimed to show why commerce flowed in certain channels at certain times and the influences which have affected its progress and development. In the discussion of the various subjects which follow, the aim has constantly been to reach the basic principles underlying each, to discover the theories upon which business is done. Necessarily the subjects could not be treated in exhaustive detail in a work of this size, but the most important features are set forth, and a basis is thus furnished for those who wish to pursue any special line of study farther into its details and intricacies.

- Practical Banking | by Albert S. Bolles
- A detailed, comprehensive guide to banking practices
- International Finance | by Hartley Withers
- Finance, in the sense in which it will be used in this book, means
the machinery of money dealing. That is, the machinery by which money
which you and I save is put together and lent out to people who want
to borrow it. Finance becomes international when our money is lent to
borrowers in other countries, or when people in England, who want to
start an enterprise, get some or all of the money that they need, in
order to do so, from lenders oversea. The biggest borrowers of money,
in most countries, are the Governments, and so international finance
is largely concerned with lending by the citizens of one country to
the Governments of others, for the purpose of developing their wealth,
building railways and harbours or otherwise increasing their power to
produce.
- The Science Of Wealth | by Amasa Walker
- In the preparation of the following work, it has been my hope,
while furnishing a Manual of Political Economy, which should present
clearly and intelligibly the leading principles of the science, to
afford a full and thorough analysis and description of the different
currencies used in the commerce of the world, especially to exhibit
the nature and effects of the mixed-currency system of the United
States.
- Canadian Banking Practice | by John T. P. Knight
- Banking Practice Questions and Answers. A Persian philosopher, being
ashed by what means he had acquired so much knowledge, answered,
"By not being prevented by shame from asking questions where I
was ignorant."
- The Subvention In The State Finances Of Pennsylvania | by Frederic B. Garver
- The subvention has been used in England and in the United States to
equalize revenue resources between state (central) and local
governments; to equalize the burden of supporting a given service
between different localities; and to gain for the central authorities
power of supervision over local administration. Finally in the United
States it has been used to aid semi-public institutions of an
eleemosynary character. An indepth dessertation work on the subvention
State Finances Of Pennsylvania follows.
