Lombard Street a description of the money market Walter Bagehot 9781444401158 Books
Lombard Street: a description of the money market, by Walter Bagehot, should be required reading by every politician, voter and TV bobble head in no just the US, but in every country in the industrial world. Written in the late 1880s (yes, nineteenth century, not twentieth)it describes in great detail how London, and by extension, Lombard Street in London, became the financial capital of the world. Woven in amongst the descriptions of financial acumen are also suggestions of chicanery, double dealing and outright fraud.If one were to change "Lombard Street" to "Wall Street", "the Bank of England" to "the Federal Reserve and the treasury", one would have a textbook on what's wrong with our financial system that's as current and up to date as this morning's sunrise. Wall Street and what goes on there isn't new: it's been going on for centuries, this small book (5 x 7, 132 pages) just describes it.
A caveat: the editors who and typesetters who published this book apparently didn't understand how accounting and account's minds work: as a result, what would appear to an accountant as an "accounting summary" is a paragraph of words and numbers. you'll have to spend some time constructing the accounting chart. personally, I think that's a good thing, but then, I'm not an accountant.
A fascinating insight that just "slips by" is that at the time the book was written, England's version of the US's Fed and Department of the Treasury were in one building, and were actually two different activities of the bank of England. Te US, in it's own inimitable way, developed these functions both separately in time and in structure: the Fed is essentially independent of government influence, the Treasury less so.
If you by this book, (and if I had my way, you'd have to read it before you could be allowed to vote or run for office), most likely you will do two things: annotate it with underlining and marginal notes, and fill a small notebook with working out the accounting.
