Summary
In this final decade of the twentieth century, a life-and-death struggle is being played out in Lancaster County: between land speculation and land stewardship, between material wealth and moral worth, between unrestrained growth and "the ties that bind." The Amish are at the center of the conflict, trying to maintain their unique community in the face of increasing encroachment from the outside. Randy Testa stands as a witness to their struggle, telling "the story of a people on the verge of conflagration". [from the publisher]

Pennsylvania History: A journal of Mid-Atlantic studies ; v. 83, no. 4
Summary
Abstract: From 1715 to 1730, Pennsylvania’s provincial legislature passed economic reform that transformed the colony into an enviable commercial center. Provisions enacted included liquor duties, flour inspection laws, and feme sole statutes, but the crowning achievement was a public loan office that issued loans to farmers in the form of paper money. Historians have shown how the Pennsylvania General Loan Office improved business conditions in the colony following an economic depression. Scholars have paid less attention to the implications of financial innovations such as paper money for economic thought and culture conceived broadly in early America. Using Pennsylvania as a case study, this article argues that paper money issued by public land banks in the British colonies not only improved colonial economic conditions, but also formed the basis of a fiscal and constitutional order founded on legislative control over local currencies and an extrinsic notion of value that pegged economic worth to the provincial community.
