The Banker's Briar Patch: The American Banker's Association And The Glass-Owen Bill Of 1913, Robert Drake Scull

History Theses & Dissertations

In order to compete with the British in international finance, leading bankers in the United States began to agitate for a central bank and "elastic" currency at least as early as 1905. Although the Panic of 1907 helped stir interest in banking reform, the political climate was so prejudiced against the banking profession that it became necessary for ABA spokesmen to condemn publicly the proposed legislation in order to insure that it would be passed. Privately, these same bankers worked closely with Woodrow Wilson and helped elect him president in 1912. Wilson returned the favor with the Federal Reserve Act …

The Price Of Unemployment And Inflation And Who Pays, Michael Borrero

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Since the early 1960's many economists and policy makers have contended that full employment and price stability are unattainable goals. Stimulated by the works of A. W. Phillips, a British economist, they have argued that there is an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment; that is, as unemployment decreases, inflation increases. Phillips in his original article, "The Relationship between Unemployment and the Rate of Change in Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom,"1 cautiously reasoned that when demand for commodities, services or labor was high relative to supply, prices increase. Increasing prices for labor draw out unemployed people into the …

Taxpayers Rights Amendment: A Sequel To Dakota Proposition?, Philip Favero

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

During their campaign against Dakota Proposition, some of the opponents to that proposed constitutional amendment indicated their interest in a substitute measure to limit taxes in South Dakota. The substitute would involve, they stated, tying South Dakota taxes to the rate of inflation. An example of this kind of measure know as the Taxpayer's Rights Amendment" has been written and may be presented as a petition to change the South Dakota Constitution in a future general election. This Staff Paper includes a brief introductory analysis of the "Taxpayer's Rights Amendment." Suggestions for future research are also offered should the proposed …

Hedging Techniques For Agricultural Producers, Clayton K. Yeutter

Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers

I am delighted to be here today talking about hedging and how it can be applied to the marketing strategies of agricultural producers in agriculture. It is good to have so much interest developing at the marketing end of agriculture, because it seems do me that too much attention has long been paid to production and too little to marketing. Even in the United States, which has developed perhaps the most sophisticated marketing techniques in the world, farmers are still too production oriented. Futures markets, where hedging techniques can be applied the best, are more than 100 years old in …
