'Merely for Money'?

|In 1780 Richard Sheridan noted that merchants worked 'merely for money'. However, rather than being a criticism, this was recognition of the important commercial role that merchants played in the British empire at this time. Of course, merchants desiredand often made profits, but they were strictly bound by commonly-understood socio-cultural norms which formed a private-order institution of a robust business culture. In order to elucidate this business culture, this book examines the themes of risk, trust, reputation, obligation, networks and crises to demonstrate how contemporary merchants perceived and dealt with one another and managed their businesses. Merchants were able to take risks and build trust, but concerns about reputation and fulfilling obligations constrained economic opportunism. By relating these themes to an array of primary sources from ports around the British-Atlantic world, this book provides a more nuanced understanding of business culture during this period. A theme which runs throughout the book is the mercantile community as a whole and its relationship with the state. This was an important element in the British business culture of this period, although this relationship came under stress towards the end of period, forming a crisis in itself. This book argues that the business culture of the British-Atlantic mercantile community not only facilitated the conduct of day-to-day business, but also helped it to cope with short-term crises and long-term changes. This enabled the success of the British-Atlantic economy even within the context of changing geo-politics and an under-institutionalised environment. Not working 'merely for money' was a successful business model.|--Back cover.

Issues in Money and Banking High quality books Issues in Money and Banking By:George Macesich Published on 2000-01-01 by Greenwood Publishing Group Today's banking systems, from prosperous America to muddled Europe and wobbly Japan, may be in worse shape than is generally assumed. Although large financial institutions face the challenges of the new Euro with confidence, smaller banks are not as well prepared to deal with the world's changing financial scene. While most banks' profits continue to come from lending, many have accepted lesser borrowers, and others have entered businesses, such as asset management, that could become less attractive. Given the pressure on banks to earn more profits and the extra risks they have taken, it behooves us to revisit the key issues in banking. This book casts the ongoing changes in money and banking into perspective. This Book was ranked at 11 by Google Books for keyword Money. Book ID of Issues in Money and Banking's Books is h-...
