Higher law of trade warned by failed firms and prudence
United States Economist argues that the history of late failures shows a higher law of trade. Speculative securities sink banks. firms like Jey Cooke & Co and Clews & Co collapsed amid reckless financing. Prudence, modest earnings, and reinvested profits in Europe-style stability protect firms from panics, unlike those chasing risky ventures. The piece condemns excessive display of capital, advocates cautious management, and cites lessons from Sprague and other collapses.
