The Rialto in Richmond
Book •
Joseph P. Farrell's 'The Rialto in Richmond' examines the closing phase of the American Civil War and the initial Reconstruction period, emphasizing continuity-of-government actions and financial policies.
Farrell analyzes Jefferson Davis's flight from Richmond, Confederate archives and specie, and post-war monetary choices such as demonetizing silver and returning to specie-backed international trade.
He argues these events and policies have instructive parallels for modern financial engineering and state bullion-depository schemes.
The book situates historical episodes within a broader critique of elite financial strategies and political power struggles.
Farrell blends archival detail with interpretive commentary to illuminate how past crises shaped the present.
