Böcker av Mark W. Geiger

A compelling account of how markets really govern themselves, and why they often baffle and outrage outsiders

This highly original work explores a previously unknown financial conspiracy at the start of the American Civil War. The book explains the reasons for the puzzling intensity of Missouris guerrilla conflict, and for the states anomalous experience in Reconstruction. In the broader history of the war, the book reveals for the first time the nature of military mobilization in the antebellum United States.
