  • Bitcoin: Questions, Answers, and Analysis of Legal Issues
    Bitcoin: Questions, Answers, and Analysis of Legal Issues Craig K. Elwell Specialist in Macroeconomic Policy M. Maureen Murphy Legislative Attorney Michael V. Seitzinger Legislative Attorney July 15, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43339 Bitcoin: Questions, Answers, and Analysis of Legal Issues Summary Bitcoin first appeared in January 2009, the creation of a computer programmer using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. His invention is an open source (its controlling computer code is open to public view), peer to peer (transactions do not require a third-party intermediary such as PayPal or Visa), digital currency (being electronic with no physical manifestation). The Bitcoin system is private, but with no traditional financial institutions involved in transactions. Unlike earlier digital currencies that had some central controlling person or entity, the Bitcoin network is completely decentralized, with all parts of transactions performed by the users of the system. With a Bitcoin transaction there is no third party intermediary. The buyer and seller interact directly (peer to peer) but their identities are encrypted and no personal information is transferred from one to the other. However, unlike a fully anonymous transaction, there is a transaction record. A full transaction record of every Bitcoin and every Bitcoin user’s encrypted identity is maintained on the public ledger. For this reason Bitcoin transactions are thought to be pseudonymous, not anonymous. Although the scale of Bitcoin use has increased substantially, it still remains small in comparison to traditional electronic payments systems such as credit cards and the use of dollars as a circulating currency. Congress is interested in Bitcoin because of concerns about its use in illegal money transfers, concerns about its effect on the ability of the Federal Reserve to meet its objectives (of stable prices, maximum employment, and financial stability), and concerns about the protection of consumers and investors who might use it.

  • Dietmar Rothermund Currencies, Taxes and Credit Asian Peasants in the Great Depression, 1930-1939
    Dietmar Rothermund Currencies, Taxes and Credit Asian Peasants in the Great Depression, 1930-1939 Introduction The Asian peasants would not have been affected by the Great Depression if they had been subsistence agriculturists with only minimal relations with the market. In fact, food production rather than the production of cashcrops was predomi- nant in most Asian countries. But even the producers of wheat, rice and millets and other food crops were tied to market forces because they had to pay land rev- enue and other taxes, or they had to pay rent to landlords and interests to money- lenders. Many of them had become enmeshed in rural credit networks once and for all, because their creditors were eager to keep them in debt by charging high nominal interest rates, while resting content with lower effective interest rates ad- justed to the living conditions of their debtors. After all, the peasant had to stay alive in order to serve his creditor. The burden of rent or revenue had contributed to peasant indebtedness. Moneylenders were usually willing to help the peasant when the collectors of rent or revenue approached them in order to obtain possession of their land in terms of mortgages or by pre-empting their harvest in this way. Moneylenders were usually also graindealers and often financed forward trading. Some of them may have been able to conduct their business purely with their own funds. But most of them had to re-finance their operations through banks or wholesalers etc. Thus the rural credit network was interlinked with higher levels of credit management.

  • Bubonic Plague and Mill Labour in Bombay, 1896–1898
    IRSH 59 (2014), pp. 181–214 doi:10.1017/S0020859014000157 r 2014 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis The Tie That Snapped: Bubonic Plague and Mill Labour in Bombay, 1896–1898 A DITYA S ARKAR Department of History, University of Warwick Humanities Building, University Road, Coventry, CV4 7AL, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: In September 1896, the city of Bombay witnessed the beginning of a long-drawn-out epidemic crisis, with the outbreak of bubonic plague. This article investigates one particular dimension of this crisis – its effects upon the city’s cotton textile mills, and its profound, though temporary, alteration of the relations between employers and workers. It argues that the structure of industrial relations in the textile mills in the second half of the nineteenth century rested upon the retention of wage arrears by mill managements, which forced workers into permanent debt, and bound them to the mill and their employers. The demographic and industrial crisis ushered in during the plague years, the article shows, cracked open this structure of industrial control, and workers were able to sustain a new, fleeting system of industrial ‘‘regulation from below’’, based on the daily payment of wages. Through a study of the tensions in textile mills in 1897, situated within the broader context of a crisis of urban labour relations, the article shows the ways in which industrial relations were both deconstructed and reconstituted in a new form. In September 1896, Bombay’s municipal administration declared the presence of bubonic plague in the city.1 Within weeks, a series of ram- shackle medical and sanitary fortifications against the epidemic had been erected, but these proved ineffective.
