Excerpt from Financing an Empire, Vol. 2: History of Banking in Illinois The Commercial National had built its deposit account up to fifty million dollars, without merger or consolidation when on September 1, 1909, it took over the Bankers National Bank. The Bankers National Bank was a promi nent institution and had deposits in excess of twenty million dollars, As a part of this consolidation plan the capital-stock of the Commercial National was increased to seven million dollars. The Bankers National made, therefore, an important addition to the components of what subsequently became the Continental and Commercial National Bank. On April 1, 1910, the capital stock of the Conimercial National Bank was increased to eight million dollars. At the same time the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank was organized with capital of one million dollars. Early in 1910 negotiations were opened by the Continental Bank's officials with the directors of the Commercial National Bank with a view to unifying these two interests. The negotiations were brought to a successful conclusion and on August 1, 1910, the Continental National Bank and the Commercial National Bank were merged under the name of the Continental and Commer cial National Bank of Chicago. The new bank had a capital of twenty million dollars and surplus of ten million dollars. The number of banks which were consolidated or merged before the final consolidation of interests August 1, 1910, had been reduced to four major units in the year preceding. The four institutions were the Continental Na tional Bank, the Commercial National Bank, the Commercial Trust and Sav ings Bank and the American Trust and Savings Bank. As a part of the general merger the American Trust and Savings Bank and the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank were consolidated under the name of Continental and Com mercial Trust and Savings Bank. The capital stock of this institution was owned by the stockholders of the National Bank. Thus the union of national and state bank - of commercial, savings, trust and investment business - was insured.

From the end of the nineteenth century until the onset of the Great Depression, Wall Street embarked on a stunning, unprecedented, and often bloody period of international expansion in the Caribbean. A host of financial entities sought to control banking, trade, and finance in the region. In the process, they not only trampled local sovereignty, grappled with domestic banking regulation, and backed US imperialism—but they also set the model for bad behavior by banks, visible still today. In Bankers and Empire, Peter James Hudson tells the provocative story of this period, taking a close look at both the institutions and individuals who defined this era of American capitalism in the West Indies. Whether in Wall Street minstrel shows or in dubious practices across the Caribbean, the behavior of the banks was deeply conditioned by bankers’ racial views and prejudices. Drawing deeply on a broad range of sources, Hudson reveals that the banks’ experimental practices and projects in the Caribbean often led to embarrassing failure, and, eventually, literal erasure from the archives.

Scholars have recently begun to pay renewed attention to the economics of empire, focusing in particular on the requirements of metropolitan Britain's economy and on the activities of imperial businesses. Within this broad field, financial questions, not least the subject of investment overseas or the 'export of capital', have long had a prominent place, and have been equally affected by the development of new appraoches. The consensus as to the volume and direction of Britain's overseas investments is being vigorously challenged. Technological advances have encouraged on a greatly enlarged scale the compilation and analysis of information about British investments and shareholdings abroad. The gradual easing of restrictions on business records has increased facilities for the study, especially, of imperial and colonial banking. Work on the financial policies of central governments is revealing much of interest to students of twentieth-century colonial rule and decolonization. This collection of essays brings together a selection of the latest research on these and other themes, and, for comparative purposes, includes examples of recent continental work.

In a lively critique of how international and comparative political economy misjudge the relationship between global markets and states, this book demonstrates the central place of the American state in today's world of globalized finance. The contributors set aside traditional emphases on military intervention, looking instead to economics.

How finance and politics have caused the global housing crisis The most comprehensive survey of the current crisis, Urban Warfare charts how the financial crisis and wider urban politics have left millions homeless and in financial desperation across the world. The financialization of housing has become a global catastrophe, leaving millions desperate and homeless. Since the 2008 financial collapse, models of home ownership, originating in the US and UK, are being exported around the world. Using examples from across the globe, Rolnik shows how our cities have been sold to construction companies and banks, while supported by government-facilitated schemes, such as “the right to buy” subsidies and micro-financing. Our homes and neighbourhoods have become the “last subprime frontiers of capitalism,” organised by those who benefit the most.
