Autor

Charles Newell Fowler (1852-1932) was an American politician, banker, and author who left an indelible mark on the financial discourse of his time. With a career that straddled both the private sector and public service, Fowler brought a depth of practical insight to his legislative work and literary endeavors. Before embarking on his political journey, Fowler established himself as a successful banker, an experience that informed much of his written work on monetary policy. His most notable literary contribution to the field, 'Seventeen Talks on the Banking Question' (1912), encapsulates a series of speeches and articles that articulate his economic philosophy, reveal his staunch advocacy for a more flexible and stable banking system, and reflect his alignment with the Progressive Movement of the early 20th century. In this compilation, Fowler dissected complex banking issues with eloquence and precision, showcasing his ability to engage with both scholarly audiences and the informed public. His advocacy for financial reform was not only confined to the printed page; as a Republican congressman from New Jersey (1895-1911), Fowler was instrumental in the development and debate of banking legislation. His written works remain a testament to his commitment to economic stability and continue to be a rich source of historical insight into the banking discourse of his era.
