Bryan Cutsinger on Money and Banking in Antebellum America

The history of money is the history of human exchange. We may now take for granted the

banks is a product of 20th-century political economy developments. Today we will be
joined by Bryan Cutsinger, who will discuss his research on the history of money provision
in North America in the 19th century.
