Financial History: Sunday Reads

*Panic Series (Pt. V) - 1857*

This was spurred by government incentives, particularly federal land grants to railroads, which subsidized RR expansion.

There are two entire lectures covering episodes of sovereign default, repudiated debts, the impact of war on sovereign debt, etc.

Fascinating visualization of US economic growth from 1900-1925.

Love telephone “subscribers”.

Taken from a 1925 “Magazine of Wall Street” issue I ordered!
