"Banking" by William Amasa Scott is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide readers with a straightforward understanding of the principles and challenges inherent in banking, with a focus on the unique conditions found in the United States. The text is likely to cover various aspects of banking, including the roles of commercial and investment banks, their classifications, and ongoing banking issues, making it a valuable resource for those looking to deepen their comprehension of the banking system. At the start of the publication, the author outlines the perceived differences between banking in Europe and America, highlighting the American view of banks as necessary yet less beloved entities, contrasting with the European perspective of banks as benefactors. The opening chapters introduce the basic functions performed by banks, such as safekeeping money, making payments, issuing loans, and facilitating investments. Scott emphasizes the necessity of understanding both commercial and investment banking, aiming to equip the reader with knowledge about the vital role banks play in capital allocation and economic stability, and the pressing need for reform in the banking laws and practices of his time.
