Abstract The following investigation is intended to determine how the large-cap US multinational corporation was further advanced during the pivotal years of 1895-1913 by a leading private unincorporated institution—House of Morgan. Historical review and assessment focused on the broader US society, government, monetary landscape, the House of Morgan, leading large cap US multinationals; looking at both the key organizations and underlying people in power. The report framework focuses upon the development of the US super structure within which all major companies work down to the way actual institutions organize economic assets in the form of a multinational corporation. Questions that have been considered include: how was business conducted globally with so little formal mechanisms in place, the importance of the various forms of capital for business, and the various roles politics played in business development.

  • Sound Banking
    Sound Banking Sound Banking Rebecca Söderström Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Auditorium Minus, Gustavianum, Akademigatan 3, Uppsala, Friday, 12 May 2017 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Laws. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Nina Dietz Legind. Abstract Söderström, R. 2017. Sound Banking. 370 pp. Uppsala: Juridiska fakulteten, Uppsala universitet. ISBN 978-91-506-2627-8. Banks are subject to a comprehensive body of legal rules and conduct their business under constant supervision of authorities. Since the financial crisis of 2008, the number of rules governing banking has grown and the structures of supervision have likewise been enhanced. This thesis analyses various aspects of the regulation and supervision of banks, and focuses especially on soundness as a normative concept to regulate banks. Soundness is a legal prerequisite in, for example Swedish, law and appears in relation to banking in many other jurisdictions. The aims of this thesis are to examine how the normative concept of soundness functions in the regulation and supervision of banks, to present general insights into how banking regulation and supervision function and how the financial crisis of 2008 has affected banking regulation and supervision. The thesis proposes a taxonomy of soundness – confidence – stability to describe the normative context of soundness. The taxonomy is connected to the theoretical arguments for bank regulation and is used as a tool to analyse three areas of banking regulation: authorisation, capital requirements and banks in trauma. The three areas correspond to the outline of the thesis according to The Story of the Bank, which includes the formation, operation and failure of banks.

    In The Matter of the Petition of "M" Bank, A Mutual Savings Bank and the "O" Bank for a Declaratory Ruling DOC #2581, Effective January 12, 1984 Pursuant to RSA 541-A:1, IV, RSA 541-A:2, I (d) and Rev 104.04, New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules the "M" Bank, a Mutual Savings Bank (hereinafter referred to as "Bank") and "O" Bank (hereinafter referred to as "Holding Company") a business corporation organized and existing pursuant to RSA 293-A with its principal place of business in .............., N. H., petition the Department of Revenue Administration for a declaratory ruling with respect to the New Hampshire tax consequences of the conversion of the "M" Bank, a Mutual Savings Bank, from mutual to stock form, as a subsidiary of "O" Bank of ..............., New Hampshire. Through its attorneys-in-fact, the Petitioners represent the following: The purpose of the Plan of Conversion is to accomplish (a) the conversion of a mutual savings bank to a "guaranty" (stock) savings bank subsidiary of Holding Company, and (b) the sale of stock of Holding Company to Bank depositors and other classes of potential subscribers, by a procedure similar to that established by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB") for conversions of federally chartered mutual thrift institutions to stock forms. Pursuant to New Hampshire RSA 386:10 (II), these procedures and regulations have also been adopted by the New Hampshire General Court (Legislature) and Banking Commissioner for use with respect to conversion of state-chartered mutual savings banks to stock banks. On September 14, 1983 the Board of Directors of Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion (hereinafter referred to as "Plan") whereby Bank will be converted to a guaranty (stock) savings bank (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Stock Bank" to distinguish the same from the Bank prior to conversion) all of the stock of which will be held by Holding Company.

    Insurance Times: MASS. BANKS TRIED HOLDING COMPANY ROUTE BEFORE INSURER LIBERTY MUTUAL December 11, 2001, Vol. XX No. 25 Giant P/C Insurer Wins Approval to Form MHC by Mark Hollmer InsuranceTimes BOSTON — Eastern Bank was once a small mutual savings bank based in Lynn. But then in 1989, the Massachusetts Division of Banks approved the bank’s application to reorganize as a mutual holding company – the first in the state to do so. Andrew Calamare was Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks at the time. He said the change helped Eastern to become a regional powerhouse. “It has certainly not hurt them,” said Calamare, now president and CEO of the Life Insurance Association of Massachusetts. “Now it is the second largest bank in the … state chartered system,” he said. Liberty Mutual Status Twelve years later, Liberty Mutual has become the state’s first property casualty insurer to win mutual holding company status. Insurance Commissioner Linda Ruthardt approved Liberty Mutual’s mutual holding company application at the end of November, the first mutual insurer to do so under a 1998 state law. The approval allows Liberty mutual to form a holding company that becomes the corporate parent of Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. and sister divisions Liberty Mutual Fire and Liberty Mutual Life. DOI approval to merger Liberty subsidiary Wausau Insurance into the mutual holding company and also reorganize Liberty Mutual Fire within the new system is still pending, however. When all is complete, Liberty Mutual will maintain mutuality but gain the right to offer stock if it chooses. Shareholders can own up to 49 percent of the company, but policyholders will always own at least 51 percent.

The economy recovered from a severe depression in the mid-1890s and business was growing again at a rapid pace. William McKinley was president and busi- nessmen were welcome in the White House. Yet discontent with big business was more prevalent among working people and farmers, who saw themselves as mere pawns on the chessboard of business. The press and muckrakers provided a shadow conscience for the country through exposés of working conditions and corrupt labor practices. The first decade of the twentieth century was characterized by strong antitrust sentiments culminating in several significant lawsuits that altered the American corporate landscape. Ironically, the cen- tury began by opening a window of opportunity that allowed several huge mergers to occur during what otherwise has become known as the Progressive Era. Once Theodore Roosevelt succeeded McKinley, a constant tug-of-war between big business and government began. Twenty years later, it was not clear who had won the struggle. Prior to World War I, the tension between business, government, and other sectors of society did not prevent a strong drive toward 2 10520_Geisst_3p_01_r1.k.qxd 8/13/03 4:38 PM Page 3 B I mergers and acquisition.
