Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this extensive history of U.S. monetary policy, Richard H. Timberlake chronicles the intellectual, political, and economic developments that prompted the use of central banking institutions to regulate the monetary systems. After describing the constitutional principles that the Founding Fathers laid down to prevent state and federal governments from printing money. Timberlake shows how the First and Second Banks of the United States gradually assumed the central banking powers that were originally denied them. Drawing on congressional debates, government documents, and other primary sources, he analyses the origins and constitutionality of the greenbacks and examines the evolution of clearinghouse associations as private lenders of last resort. He completes this history with a study of the legislation that fundamentally changed the power and scope of the Federal Reserve System?the Banking Act of 1935 and the Monetary Control Act of 1980. Writing in nontechnical language, Timberlake demystifies two centuries of monetary policy. He concludes that central banking has been largely a series of politically inspired government-serving actions that have burdened the private economy.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. This book reviews nine Supreme Court cases and decisions that dealt with monetary laws and gives a summary history of monetary events and policies as they were affected by the Court's decisions. Several cases and decisions had notable consequences on the monetary history of the United States, some of which were blatant misjudgments stimulated by political pressures. The cases included in this book begin with McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819 and end with the Gold Clause Cases in 1934-35. Constitutional Money examines three institutions that were prominent in these decisions: the Supreme Court, the gold standard, and the Federal Reserve System. The final chapter describes the adjustments necessary to return to a gold standard and briefly examines the constitutional alternatives.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1880, Jesse Sumner Wooley, an energetic and entrepreneurial thirteen-year-old farm boy from Saratoga County, took a job as an errand boy for a pair of town photographers. This summer job led to a career that would define Wooley's life. From that early start, Wooley went on to become a prominent businessman and inventive photographer in Upstate New York.This volume tells the fascinating story of Wooley's rise from his impoverished rural roots to a position of success and prosperity as an artist who illuminated twentieth-century bourgeois American culture through his photography. Including more than one hundred color and duotone photographs from his corpus, including a gallery of images from Matt Finley's private collection, the book reveals the range of Wooley's work: Adirondack panoramas, architectural studies, travel shows depicting the American west and Europe, and documentary photographs of contemporary events. Wooley's career is situated within the context of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century town photography, a field dominated by male commercial photographers who captured the day-to-day events of rural and town life. Like many of these professional photographers, Wooley embraced innovations in cameras, producing photo postcards and panoramic photography to satisfy the growing demand for images as souvenirs.J. S. Wooley showcases the beauty of the Adirondack region as Wooley experienced it, the vital importance of town photographers, and the emergence of photography as a powerful medium to expose the American landscape.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In his first story about Randall Betts, Opposite of Collision introduced the reader to the world of counterterrorism and espionage, a believable and meaningful tribute to those who serve quietly to keep this country safe. Richard Timberlake used his extensive career to paint a picture of action and intrigue during the mid-1990's.In Kiss All Your Thank-Yous Goodbye, the former marine and Iraq War hero Betts gets embroiled between the CIA and a decades-old treason that goes to the top of the NSA, which kills his father and sets him on a quest for justice and revenge. An honorable man in agony from injury, loss, and post-traumatic stress, Betts faces an unseen and powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to hide his treasonous acts from the world. From the deepest parts of our nation's capitol to the vibrant green hills of Tennessee, this twisting plot comes to a complex and violent climax when a ruthless traitor comes out of hiding to take out the one man who can expose him, Randall Betts.This complex, textured thriller plunges the reader into a labyrinth of internecine struggles among powerful national security interests in the years just after 9/11. While deeply embedding a gripping story in the technology, language, politics, and protocols of military, government, and espionage, the novel emphasizes the lack of respect and appreciation for soldiers and special agents, whether it comes from their own bureaucracies or the general public. Juxtaposing intense action with scenes of descriptive beauty and sensitive reflection, the book is a capacious, credible, and knowledgeable portrait of the War on Terror at its highest pitch.Dedicated to the minority of the US population who have chosen to serve and sacrifice for the protection of the nation, this book is a complex but complete story describing the nation's capital and rural Tennessee. Many who have experience with the world of espionage and uniformed service will identify with the well-developed characters and the perils of unconditional commitment to duty.…
