Combines, Canada Cement, and the Reciprocity Election -- 11. Conclusion: From Profits to Politics -- Appendix. The First Canadian Merger Wave in International Perspective It has been said of Max Aitken (later Lord Beaverbrook) that 'no other Canadian carved his name so large upon his times.' A manipulative, self-serving charmer with immense business acumen, Aitken knew all the important Canadian financiers of his day, and repeatedly demonstrated his remarkable skill for making money in the field of corporate finance. In this book Gregory Marchildon looks at the entrepreneurial history of Max Aitken and his core enterprise, the Royal Securities Corporation. A penetrating study of investment banking and financial capitalism during the Laurier boom years, the book also deals more generally with the relationship between Canadian politics and imperial ideology before the Great War Marchildon walks us through the machinations, uncertainties, and bravado that went into Aitken's world of promoting, financing, and stockbroking. He describes in riveting detail the playing out of the great mergers in Canadian politics and business life - most notably that of Stelco and Canada Cement. We see the inner workings of finance capitalism, coloured by many remarkable personalities of the day, and we learn how Aitken's innovative tactics made him a very rich man while still in his twenties. This is a deeply textured account of the dynamics of the securities market in the formative years at the beginning of the twentieth century |

The First Canadian Merger Wave in International Perspective It has been said of Max Aitken (later Lord Beaverbrook) that 'no other Canadian carved his name so large upon his times.' A manipulative, self-serving charmer with immense business acumen, Aitken knew all the important Canadian financiers of his day, and repeatedly demonstrated his remarkable skill for making money in the field of corporate finance. In this book Gregory Marchildon looks at the entrepreneurial history of Max Aitken and his core enterprise, the Royal Securities Corporation. A penetrating study of investment banking and financial capitalism during the Laurier boom years, the book also deals more generally with the relationship between Canadian politics and imperial ideology before the Great War Marchildon walks us through the machinations, uncertainties, and bravado that went into Aitken's world of promoting, financing, and stockbroking. He describes in riveting detail the playing out of the great mergers in Canadian politics and business life - most notably that of Stelco and Canada Cement. We see the inner workings of finance capitalism, coloured by many remarkable personalities of the day, and we learn how Aitken's innovative tactics made him a very rich man while still in his twenties. This is a deeply textured account of the dynamics of the securities market in the formative years at the beginning of the twentieth century Beaverbrook / Lord / 1879-1964 Beaverbrook, Max Aitken swd Beaverbrook, Max Aitken / Baron / 1879-1964 fast Beaverbrook, Max Aitken Baron 1879-1964 Beaverbrook, Max Aitken 1879-1964 (DE-588)118657798 gnd rswk-swf Royal Securities Corporation swd Royal Securities Corporation fast Royal Securities Corporation History Royal Securities Corporation (DE-588)4487467-4 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1896-1913 gnd rswk-swf Investissements de capitaux / Canada / Histoire Finanzierung swd Geschichte 1896-1913 swd Finanzinvestition swd BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Mergers & Acquisitions bisacsh HISTORY / Canada / General bisacsh Business and politics fast Consolidation and merger of corporations fast Geschichte Wirtschaft Consolidation and merger of corporations Canada History Business and politics Canada History Finanzinvestition (DE-588)4417143-2 gnd rswk-swf Finanzierung (DE-588)4017182-6 gnd rswk-swf Kanada Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Beaverbrook, Max Aitken 1879-1964 (DE-588)118657798 p Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Finanzinvestition (DE-588)4417143-2 s Geschichte 1896-1913 z 1\p DE-604 Finanzierung (DE-588)4017182-6 s 2\p DE-604 Royal Securities Corporation (DE-588)4487467-4 b 3\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=468405 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
