...financial institutions. However, the basis of the paper is on U.S, England, Japan and then Germany. Introduction Traditional studies of the above mentioned four countries have continued to place some emphasis on the explanations concerning acceleration of the growth that have continued to occur within their economies. Most of the factors that are considered relate to increased productivity in labor, increased innovation in technologies, expansion in international relationship in trade and revolution n the financial infrastructures. All these occurrences preceded the present development within these countries. Economic historians continue to neglect the importance of the financial institutions, the paper through the studies of (Rousseau and Sylla 1999, p. 2), shows that there are still some lessons that the emerging nations and financial systems can learn from the impacts of both the financial and securities towards growth and development. Revolution of the developed countries Before the financial and security markets developed in the countries under the study in better part of 17th and 18th centuries, there was more development in agriculture, rail systems and canals. All these were happening because of the innovations in technology. Though the economies experienced some output...

Financial collapse which affects most of the companies generates quickly problems over the banking system as the following consequences: the panic of the clients, inability to distinguish between the efficiency and the difficulty of banks, deposit withdrawals. Jack Reed, an American politician mentions: “The financial crisis is a stark reminder that transparency and disclosure are essential in today's marketplace.” In economic literature, the problems in the banking system are the main sources of the financial crises. All the economic collapses require injections of liquidity or public financial funds, in some cases, private funds from banks and international institutions. Financial crises have usually...

...Introduction: An interest in Senegal’s economy and particularly agricultural commodities has kindled a desire to investigate the production of rice. On a macroeconomic and international scale, government actions are the main factors that impact rice production. Henceforth, the research question: How effective have government protectionist measures been with increasing rice production in Senegal? Food security is one of the major goals in developing countries such as Senegal. The government has decided to emphasize rice production because it is the main food commodity. Most of Senegal’s rice is imported. In 2012, the country’s annual import was measured to be 1,200 MT (Sylla). Senegal’s huge reliance on imported rice makes the country vulnerable...

...The U.S. National Debt Econ Problems & Issues: ECO405 Professor Myung Han Alex R. Scales June 10, 2012 The national debt is the total amount of money the United States Treasury Department has borrowed and currently owes to the federal government's creditors (Sylla). These creditors are mostly comprised of the public, including individuals, corporations, as well as state, local and foreign governments. They also consist of various government trust funds, such as Social Security and Medicare. Additionally, they include the Federal Reserve, mostly in the form of treasury bonds, bills and notes. Currently, the U.S. national debt is estimated to be $8.5 trillion (ZFacts). This ever-growing figure brings with it several social and economic implications. Therefore, the national debt is a frequently debated topic that has over the years produced various schools of thought on how the U.S. government should manage it. In order to understand how the national debt could ultimately affect future generations of the United States and the different ways the government can best deal with it, it is first necessary to discuss its’ history. The origin of the national debt dates back to the War of Independence. In 1775, the Continental Congress authorized an issue of $2 million of bills of credit called Continentals to finance the war. At the end of 1779, $241.6 million of Continentals had been authorized in addition to several U.S. loan certificates, foreign loans, and state-issued...

...Guohui Huang ACCT 431-Fall 2014 09/19/2014 Dodd-Frank Act The Dodd-Frank Act, also known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Dodd-Frank Act was introduced in the House of Representatives by Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, and by the Senate Banking Committee former Chairman Chris Dodd and therefor named after the two men. The Dodd-Frank represents the most comprehensive financial regulatory reform measures taken since the Great Depression; it was initiated in response to the devastating Financial Crisis of 2007-2008. In simplest terms, the Dodd-Frank Act is a law that places major regulations on the financial industry. In general, the 2,300-page act covers virtually every aspect of the financial services and banking industries. The Act imposed restrictions and reforms upon the industries that had previously been lacking of any substantial regulations. In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act in to Law to help secure the future economy of the U.S. However, before the official passing of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, America had gone years without accountability for Wall Street and other large banks. The country suffered its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression due to this failure to hold these banks liable for their actions. Businesses failed, the housing market crashed, personal savings were wiped out, and millions of jobs were lost. There are just...

...The US Banking System: Origin, Development, and Regulation by Richard Sylla Currency note of one shilling, six pence, printed in the colony of New Jersey in 1776. (Gilder Lehrman Collection) Banks are among the oldest businesses in American history—the Bank of New York, for example, was founded in 1784, and as the recently renamed Bank of New York Mellon it had its 225th anniversary in 2009. The banking system is one of the oldest, largest, and most important of our industries. Most adult Americans deal with banks, often on a fairly regular basis. Nonetheless, banks and banking seem rather mysterious. What do banks do? Why have they for so long been an integral part of our economy? Why, as in the financial crisis that commenced in 2007, do banks every so often get into trouble and create serious problems for the country? Banks have two important economic functions. First, they operate a payments system, and a modern economy cannot function well without an efficient payments system. We make most of our payments by writing checks, swiping credit cards issued by banks or tied to them, and by paying bills via online banking. Most of the money stock of the country is in fact bank money; the rest of the currency is “legal tender” issued by the government, namely Federal Reserve Notes and coins. We have confidence in bank money because we can exchange it at the bank or an ATM for legal tender. Banks are obligated to hold reserves of legal tender to make these exchanges when we...

...Research Paper No. 2006/54 Central Banks as Agents of Economic Development Gerald Epstein* May 2006 Abstract In the last two decades, there has been a global sea change in the theory and practice of central banking. The currently dominant ‘best practice’ approach to central banking consists of the following: (1) central bank independence (2) a focus on inflation fighting (including adopting formal ‘inflation targeting’) and (3) the use of indirect methods of monetary policy (that is, short-term interest rates as opposed to direct methods such as credit ceilings). This paper argues that this neo-liberal approach to central banking is highly idiosyncratic in that, as a package, it is dramatically different from the historically dominant theory and practice of central banking, not only in the developing world, but, notably, in the now developed countries themselves. Throughout the early and recent history of central banking in the US, England, Europe, and elsewhere, financing governments, managing exchange rates, and supporting economic sectors by using ‘direct methods’ of intervention have been among the most important tasks of central banking and, indeed, in many cases, were among the reasons for their existence. The neo-liberal central bank policy package, then, is drastically out of step with the history and dominant practice of central banking throughout most of its history.

...Bank of America Wardell Gordon Strayer University Professor Lateefah Muhammad June 15, 2014 Bank of America and the SEC The banking and securities establishment has been around virtually since the founding of this great nation. Right after the United States declared their independence from England they reformed and established a new way to bank and circulate money. From the start, the banking and securities industry have been working hand and hand. According to Sylla,” the sector that benefited most from early U.S. securities markets was banking. Banks in the United States, unlike most banks in other countries at the time, were corporations that raised their banking capital by issuing equity securities…active trading markets in the1790s.”(1998).This system was a ticking bomb for corruption from the beginning. There was little regulation the governed the securities industry. This sector was lawless like the Wild West. It left the door open for greedy bankers and brokers to steal and steal until almost everything was almost gone. These bankers and brokers was selling snake oil to vulnerable Americans. The SEC website states,” During the 1920s, approximately 20 million large and small shareholders took advantage of post-war prosperity and set out to make their fortunes in the stock market. It is estimated that of the $50 billion in new securities offered during this period, half became worthless.”(n.d.). This prelude to the catastrophic event called the Great Depression...

LARTEY WALDEN UNIVERSITY JULY 14, 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From the topics of Dynamic Leadership courses the most helpful courses are the contents and assignments of Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, week 5, and week 6 respectively. Week 1 deliberated on the qualities of leaders: Planning, monitoring, controlling, evaluation, performance, policy formulation, decision making, motivation, recruiting, and implementation of decisions. This has helped me to better understand leadership role. Week 2 discussed that leaders and followers must complement each other for a successful business. The two parties combined to balance the mathematical equation of business for profitability and success. This course highlighted the fact in addition to the leadership role must be complimented by good qualities in order to command the following: Intelligence, time consciousness, humility and obedience, skillfulness of communication, competence, motivation, kindness, empathy, fairness, virtue, and mutual respect. These virtues must also reside in the followers. Impact: The leadership role specified in week 1 and the qualities expressed by week 2 have immensely reawakened my consciousness that leaderships is not about academic qualification alone, but demand good character from followers and leaders as well. Besides, I have assimilated good virtues and have since been practicing them, leading by example for my followers to follow. ...
