Cliometrics and Antebellum Banking

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The three decades before the Civil War in the United States provides a remarkably rich source of informative experiences for the student of banking and finance. The Second Bank of the United States was wound up after the famous “Bank War.” Inflows of gold and silver and banking panics disrupted the financial system. And the states followed a wide array of models when they chartered and regulated banks including the famous free banking laws. This paper describes the evolution of scholarly thinking about this era and the many contributions made by cliometricians.
