Harvard. Readings Ph.D. Preparation. Banking, ca 1913

From the fact that E. E. Day last taught courses in money and banking in 1913 and based on the last dates of items of the reading list we can date this list to 1912 or 1913. Dates of publication have been added by me, as have links to the individual readings.
