Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This historical volume examines the corruption scandal that led to the removal of DeWitt C. Ellis, the Superintendent of the New York State Banking Department, in 1877. The author contends that Ellis neglected his duties as the banking industry's watchdog, allowing the Mechanics and Traders Savings Institution to operate for years despite being deeply insolvent. The book details the ensuing investigation, Ellis' defense of his actions, and the testimony presented by the institution's trustees who had uncovered its precarious financial state. The author delves into the broader context of this scandal, highlighting systemic issues within the banking industry and the broader economy, while also examining the role of government regulation. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the ongoing tension between protecting depositors' funds and fostering industry growth.
