Book Synopsis
This book, first published in 1994, explores the important role that insider lending played in the economic development of early nineteenth-century New England. Ironically, when banks began to lend more and more of their funds at arm's length, information problems forced them to restrict their activities to short-term commercial lending.

Trade Review
