AMERICAN PUBLIC FINANCE 1700 1815 (HISTORICAL PERSP BUS ENTERPRIS)
Perkins (history, Univ. of Southern California) has written a thorough and well-researched financial history of the early years of this country and their effect on the future development of the American economic system. His presentation is quite persuasive and highly informative about the financial system of this period. The book's strength is its chronological coverage, which allows readers to see how the nation's economic system was developed and refined from the colonial through the early national era. The primary drawback is the narrow subject matter, which will limit usage to students and scholars of the era and to financial and economic historians. Recommended for larger academic library collections.- Robert Logsdon, Indiana State Univ. Lib., IndianapolisCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
