Charles Arthur Conant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Arthur Conant (1861 - 1915) was an American expert on banking and finance.
He was born in Winchester, Massachusetts, studied in public schools and with private tutors, and from 1889 to 1901 was correspondent in Washington, D.C. for the New York Journal of Commerce.
In retrospect, Conant's most important work consists of journal articles collected in The United States and the Orient, in which he argued, before Hobson and Lenin, that imperialism was a natural, necessary, and ultimately positive outgrowth of capitalism.
He wrote many articles for periodicals and encyclopedias on American and on Latin-American finance and trade, and published:
- A History of Modern Banks of Issue (1896; fourth edition, 1909)
- The United States in the Orient: The Nature of an Economic Problem (1900)
- Alexander Hamilton (1901)
- Wall Street and the Country (1904)
- The Principles of Money and Banking (1905)
