"High Finance" by Otto H. Kahn is a significant address delivered at the Annual Dinner of the American Newspaper Publishers Association in the early 20th century, around 1916. As a public discourse rather than a traditional book, it scrutinizes the public's perception of finance and financiers, particularly in the context of American society. This work delves into the concept of "high finance," exploring its misinterpretations and the essential role it plays in the economy. In this address, Kahn argues that finance is often misunderstood and unfairly maligned due to misconceptions and a lack of appreciation for its constructive functions. He emphasizes that finance is not synonymous with speculation or exploitation, but rather involves the organization of capital for productive endeavors. Throughout the speech, he defends the integrity of financiers while acknowledging past mistakes, pointing out that the rise of new ethical standards and laws indicates a positive evolution in the industry. Kahn calls on financiers to embrace transparency, public scrutiny, and community service, urging them to foster trust and educate the public about their essential roles in economic development and stability.
