================= HES POSTING =====================
If you are going to talk about different configurations during the "free
banking" era in the U.S. -- which I do think is relevant to the
discussion -- don't forget the Suffolk System in Massachusetts, which
was a self-regulating banking consortium that operated exceptionally
well.
