Corporation Finance, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Corporation Finance, Vol. 2<br><br>Thruout this treatment of corporation finance it has been the aim of the author to present the subject in a manner as clear, concise and non-technical as possible. Experience in teaching corporation finance to practical men in the Evening School of Accounts, Finance and Commerce of Duquesne University has governed the arrangement of the subject-matter. Promotion, for instance, cannot be intelligently discussed until the student first understands the tools and materials which the promoter has at hand. Nor is a detailed discussion of the various securities profitable, until the corporation itself and the general nature and sources of its capital are understood. Financial policy must be discussed after capitalization. In both arrangement and subject-matter, therefore, the Text differs materially from any heretofore published, but this will, it is hoped, add to its value.<br><br>The volume aims to be practical. Many of the illustrations given are within the personal knowledge of the writer. Much that has been heretofore written on corporation finance has been drawn entirely from current literature and records only the transaction of the larger corporations.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
