Sinossi

Railroad Expansion examines the profound and often disruptive impact of railroad expansion in the Americas, focusing on its role in economic development, migration patterns, and the displacement of indigenous populations. The book argues that while railroads spurred economic progress, this growth came at a significant social and environmental cost. For example, railroad construction facilitated the transportation of goods and resources, enabling industries like agriculture and mining to flourish, but simultaneously encroached on native lands, leading to conflicts and forced displacement. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from economic history, Native American studies, and environmental history to offer a holistic understanding of the railroad's multifaceted impact. Beginning with the technological and financial aspects of railroad construction, the study progresses through the economics of railroad development, demographic shifts, and conflicts with indigenous tribes. The book concludes by assessing the long-term legacy of railroad expansion on the social, economic, and geographical landscape, providing readers with a nuanced perspective on this pivotal period in history.

    Money and Promises - A History...

    In the twelfth-century, Pisa was a thriving metropolis, a powerhouse of global trade, and a city that stood at the centre of Mediaeval Europe. But Pisa had a problem. It was running out of coins. In the face of financial crisis, it was here that the foundations of modern banking were born. 
     
    In Money and Promises, the distinguished financier, entrepreneur and historian Paolo Zannoni examines the fascinating, complex relationship between states and banks. He draws upon seven case studies: the republic of twelfth-century Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the infant years of the Bank of England, Imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent USA during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917-1921. Spanning a multitude of countries, political systems, and historical eras, Zannoni shows that at the heart of these institutions is an intricate exchange of debt and promises that allowed the modern world as we know it to take shape. 
     
    Featuring fresh insights and innovative research, this authoritative yet extremely accessible book explores the vital relationship upon which all individual, financial, and political systems still depend.
