Description: Here's a great Gift Idea! Colonial New England: The Cashless Society by Elizabeth A. Konker Published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, this is an illustrated, pocket sized history of early New England, with an emphasis on how trade was conducted without money. From the foreword: When the first settlers arrived in colonial New England they brought with them few possessions. In fact, they were very short of farm tools, equipment and money to be used to develop their land and encourage economic activity. They realized over time that in order to stimulate growth and development they needed to find a means to acquire these necessary implements and money to buy or finance production. They eventually developed a wide variety of credit instruments to substitute for the funds that they lacked. Perhaps the most serious problem throughout the period was a shortage of coin and currency. Lacking these mediums of exchange, the colonists depended upon credit — a promise to repay in the future in exchange for the use of money, goods or services in the present — to find solutions to their money problem. ==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+==+== CATEGORY: Hobbies GENRE: History PUBLISHING INFO: Boston: Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, 1984 reprint, UPC# (none), ISBN (none), 75pp, Softcover, approx 4" X 6.5" CONDITION: Used, overall good condition, good binding.
