By Charles William Smith

Book Overview

""Commercial Gambling: The Principal Causes of Depression in Agriculture and Trade"" is a book written by Charles William Smith and published in 1893. The book explores the negative effects of commercial gambling on agriculture and trade, arguing that it is a major cause of depression in these industries. Smith discusses the various forms of commercial gambling, including stock market speculation, commodity futures trading, and other forms of financial speculation. He also explores the psychological and social effects of gambling on individuals and communities, arguing that it leads to a culture of greed and speculation that undermines the stability of the economy. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the economic and social issues of the late 19th century, and it remains relevant today as a critique of the excesses of financial speculation and the impact of gambling on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
