Paperback / softback. New. During the First World War, ill-advised steps by colonial officials in the Philippines who were responsible for the colony's finances created a crisis which lasted from 1919 until 1922. The circumstances shook the foundations of the American colonial state and contributed to Manuel L. Quezon's successful effort to replace Sergio Osmea as leader of the politically dominant Nacionalista Party. These events have generally been blamed on a corruption scandal at the Philippine National Bank, which had been established in 1916 as a multi-purpose, semi-governmental agency whose purpose was to provide loans for the agricultural export industry, to do business as a commercial bank, to issue bank notes, and to serve as a depository for government funds.

Description:
Singapore: NUS Press, 2015. Paperback. New. This book demonstrates that Philippine financial insecurity is nothing new. As this book demonstrates, financial difficulties were prevalent in the US colonial period as well. Based on a reexamination of original documents, the author argues that the major financial crisis of the early 1920s was a result of colonial mismanagement rather than 'corruption' at the Philippine National Bank, as had previously been believed. 248 pages.
