But the recent financial crisis hints at the true nature of this sector. As Simone Polillo reveals in Conservatives Versus Wildcats, conflict is a driving force. Conservative bankers strive to control money by allying themselves with political elites to restrict access to credit. Barriers to credit create social resistance, so rival bankers?wildcats?attempt to subvert the status quo by using money as a tool for breaking existing boundaries. For instance, wildcats may increase the circulation of existing currencies, incorporate new actors in financial markets, or produce altogether new financial instruments to create change. Using examples from the economic and social histories of 19th-century America and Italy, two decentralized polities where challenges to sound banking originated from above and below, this book reveals the collective tactics that conservative bankers devise to legitimize strict boundaries around credit?and the transgressive strategies that wildcat bankers employ in their challenge to this restrictive stance. 606 $aBanks and banking$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aCredit$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aFinance$xSocial aspects$vCase studies 606 $aBanks and banking$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBanks and banking$xSocial aspects$zItaly$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBanks and banking$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCredit$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFinance$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBanks and banking$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aBanks and banking$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a306.3 700 $aPolillo$b Simone$f1978-$01040952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465078603321 996 $aConservatives versus wildcats$92464181 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01921nam 2200589 a 450 001 9910790266503321 005 20230801223148.0 010 $a1-283-48619-9 010 $a9786613486196 010 $a0-299-28513-8 035 $a(CKB)2670000000186995 035 $a(OCoLC)780141955 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10537611 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000611779 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11355634 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000611779 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10672314 035 $a(PQKB)11446124 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3445206 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse17813 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3445206 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10537611 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL348619 035 $a(OCoLC)927483952 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000186995 100 $a20110316d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe elusive empire$b[electronic resource] $eKazan and the creation of Russia, 1552-1671 /$fMatthew P.
