For decades, the banking industry seemed to be a Swiss watch, quietly ticking along. But the recent financial crisis hints at the true nature of this sector. As Simone Polillo reveals in Conservatives Versus Wildcats, conflict is a driving force.
Conservative bankers strive to control money by allying themselves with political elites to restrict access to credit. Barriers to credit create social resistance, so rival bankers--wildcats--attempt to subvert the status quo by using money as a tool for breaking existing boundaries. For instance, wildcats may increase the circulation of existing currencies, incorporate new actors in financial markets, or produce altogether new financial instruments to create change.
Using examples from the economic and social histories of 19th-century America and Italy, two decentralized polities where challenges to sound banking originated from above and below, this book reveals the collective tactics that conservative bankers devise to legitimize strict boundaries around credit--and the transgressive strategies that wildcat bankers employ in their challenge to this restrictive stance.

Описание: I always knew Howard Hughes was Bob Hope in makeup. I knew who Bob Hope was since the '70s.

Howard Hughes was Bob Hope in makeup, and he told you so in his TV skits, in his movies, and in his books. The life of Bob Hope was a cover story bought and paid for by the United States government-an alleged life. Howard Rupert Hughes Jr. was "Sonny" billionaire industrialist, oilman, movie producer, screenwriter, director, photographer, and inventor of satellites, lasers, ships, planes, jets, and rockets. Hope himself stated that he had a group of writers, and he was the one with two (2) heads. And most of all, he was a character actor in his own movies from his own studios. I have in my possession a magazine ad with Hope lying in bed, and the header above his picture read: "Two of the most famous names in America sleep together." My theory is, Howard Hughes disappeared, went underground, and reappeared in makeup as Bob Hope in an "alleged life," wearing a mask. Howard Hughes was talking behind his Bob Hope face. Here's a quote from Hope: "I do my best impersonations right in front of the people, and they don't get it. They don't listen." Hope stated "my names" would go down in history. Another quote from Hope stated, "My sixty years with NBC proves Lincoln was wrong. You can fool all the people all the time." He did
