1893. Episodes and observations in the life of a busy man. During a
period so striking and peculiar, a desire to discuss intensely
interesting economic topics was natural and profitable. How far at
such a supreme moment it is obtrusiveness in a plain businessman to
offer the results of his observations, as the author attempts to do
in this book, the reader is left to determine. If, in the views
found in this book, among much chaff and refuse, a gem of economic
truth is found, or the pursuit of economic inquiry is provoked, the
book was not written in vain.

It is true, that but for him who borrows, and risks, and labors,
the world would hardly move forward. It is equally true, that if
there were no borrowers, there would be no profit to the lenders.
Being so essential to each other, both are essential to the world's
progress. But the world would be happier if he who borrowed did so
more carefully; realized his danger more acutely, and risked less
for his own sake, as well as for the sake of him who lends.-from
"The Elements of Success"The diverse career of Canadian-American
businessman and journalist ERASTUS WIMAN (1834-1904) encompassed a
stint as a reporter for the newspaper the Toronto Globe, the
presidency Canada's Great Northwestern telegraph company and later
of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad, and a successful
campaign to eliminate imprisonment for debtors in New York State.
In 1893, he shared the fruits of his long, wide experience in this
collection of essays on business, society, and living a successful
life.In a charmingly rambling style, Wiman steps forward as an
advocate for such assorted issues as a close commercial union
between Canada and the United States, and the arrival of women into
the white-collar workplace. He discusses everything from the
dramatic influence of electricity on industry and the power of the
housing market to transform an economy to the business lessons to
be learned from Buffalo Bill to man's place as a parasite of the
cow. An extraordinary work by a uniquely influential and
knowledgeable character, this is full of surprising and delightful
insight.
