Produktbeschreibung
Modern financial theories enable us to look at old problems in early American Republic historiography from new perspectives. Concepts such as information asymmetry, portfolio choice, and principal-agent dilemmas open up new scholarly vistas. Transcending the ongoing debates over the prevalence of either community or capitalism in early America, Wright offers fresh and compelling arguments that illuminate motivations for individual and collective actions, and brings agency back into the historical equation. Wright argues that the Colonial rebellion was in part sparked by destabilizing British monetary policy that threatened many with financial insolvency; that in areas without modern financial institutions and practices, dueling was a rational means of protecting one's creditworthiness; that the principle-agent problem led to the institutionalization of the U.S. Constitution's system of checks and balances; and that a lack of information and education induced women to shift from active business owners to passive investors. Economists, historians, and political scientists alike will be interested in this strikingly novel and compelling recasting of our nation's formative decades.
Autorenporträt
After almost 50 years of silence "Weapons of War" has allowed me the opportunity to share my personal story of military service during the Vietnam Era. A time when the combat soldier was not viewed as a hero o well received when returning home from the war. My story is just one example of how the many thousands of men and women who served in the Armed Services during that era overcame danger, hardship, loneliness, despair and for some the loss of life; to ensure freedom and democracy for the people of the Republic of South Vietnam.
