Cause of, and Cure for, Hard Times (New York: 1818)

I'm writing a variety of things right now, including a book called Fubarnomics and a book chapter on corporate capitalism. To help with both, I pulled an old pamphlet out of my collection -- Cause of, and Cure for, Hard Times (New York: 1818) -- and was struck by the similarities with our financial struggles today. I received a photocopy of the pamphlet the hard way, via ILL, about a dozen years ago but if readers are interested it is on Google books and also available for purchase in a 2008 edition on Amazon.
