Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the true story behind the creation of the first industrial bank. Whilst banks and financial services catered to the business elite and wealthy individuals at the time of its creation, the average worker had limited access to credit and financial services. The author, John Charles Corcoran, learned of the predatory practices of loan sharks and pawnbrokers and their impact on working people. Inspired by communal ideals, he had a vision to provide honest and non-usurious financial services to working men and women. He believed in the fundamental honesty and industriousness of the average person and structured the bank's organization and methods around this belief. The book follows the bank's journey as its services were extended across the country, detailing how the industrial bank system empowered working people to escape the clutches of usury and build better lives through access to credit, savings, and a genuine commitment to helping the community it served.
