The Road We are Traveling
On this occasion it seems wise to take a leaf from Wassily W. Leontief's book as President of the American Economic Association. He discussed a problem of his organization. His presidential address was a plea for economists to limit their creation of models, especially those difficult of empirical testing, and to test some of those susceptible of verification. My remarks will also deal with a problem, one in the Economic History Association, how …

Anglo-American Merchant Bankers and the Railroads of the Old Northwest, 1848-1860
As distrust of American investments lessened, conservative international brokers allowed themselves to be drawn into an economic orbit with ever-widening western limits. Short-term credits to support an active agency business in railroad construction materials led inevitably to longer term commitments. The merchant bankers supplied the facilities for transatlantic capital exchange and by absorbing the best rail and government issues helped create…

Credit Rating Before Dun and Bradstreet
During the years after the Napoleonic Wars London merchant bankers, including Baring Brothers and Company, faced new complexities in the management of their business. Among the new problems was to find a satisfactory means of selecting trustworthy correspondents. London had become the leading money center of the world. With that development came a great extension of business for all leading banking and mercantile houses. Old correspondents in all…

The Organization and Functions of Anglo-American Merchant Bankers, 1815–1860
Prior to the Civil War in the United States much of the economic development of the country was financed by means of European credit, extended for both short and long terms. The flow of capital was chiefly from England and considerable Continental capital moved through England to the United States. A few firms in England were the chief instruments in this process of financing American trade and marketing American securities. These Anglo-American …

Government and the Petroleum Industry of the United States to 1911
Any attempt to analyze fully this comprehensive and extremely complex subject would require at least a book, not a short paper. Businessmen in the American petroleum industry came face to face with governmental institutions in the United States on every plane from townships, counties, towns, and cities to states and the Federal authority. Since petroleum products entered into American trade with practically every national entity on the globe, pro…

The House of Baring and American Trade
In these days of world-wide economic distress and intense nationalism the leading efforts in revival and recovery have been directed towards the rejuvenation of domestic economy. The United States stands today as one of the best examples of this tendency. Only a relatively few voices crying in the wilderness plead for balanced recovery through commensurate attention to foreign trade

Cushioning a Crisis in the London Money Market
Any person who could devise measures by which the fluctuations in modern business could be eliminated, or materially reduced, would undoubtedly carve for himself a deep niche in the Hall of Fame. Both business men and observers of economic phenomena have noted that recurring crises seem almost as inevitable as the setting of the sun, if not so regular. If the severity of crises could be mitigated, solvent firms might not fail as often as they do,…
Importance of the History of the Large Business Unit
Like all others in the historical profession, the student of economic and business history is obligated to ascertain the truth about the social order of the past, remote and immediate. To those who rely heavily upon historical data to understand the present that obligation is a categorical imperative. In the search for truth, whether in Western Europe or in the United States, the historian is faced with the necessity of correctly evaluating the e…

Problems in Collaborative Writing of Business History
In this exposition of the problems associated with writing business history three conditioning factors have been kept in mind. The paper is specifically limited to problems in the collaborative writing of business history; by definition, problems peculiar to the writing of the history of a small firm by one person are excluded. Only by collaboration can a satisfactory history of the large integrated unit be written. In the second place, the analy…
