In every field of knowledge one can find an advanced personality, a kind of
human-star who makes a breakthrough into the unknown. So was John Low (1671-1729),
a Scottish businessman in the area of finance. John Low expressed ideas,
largely anticipated some events in the development of banks, finances and
economics. Have you heard about “Indy Express Inc.”? It’s

the currency up to that fullness to which it can, and send money to those
industries that are most beneficial for the country," said Low. He believed
that money should not be metal, but credit, created by the Bank in accordance
with the needs of the economy. In May 1716 John Low created a private joint
stock credit institution - Universal Bank and began to issue banknotes. These
notes are well integrated in the treatment, that for some time they had been
preferable to silver and even gold coins. Low first used the principle of
so-called private reserve, which later became the basis of banking. Low in
general had become one of the first financiers who understood the important
role of credit in domestic and economic life of the state and skillfully
used it. Some biographers called John Low a brilliant adventurer, a well-known
schemer and speculator, although interest in the activities and ideas of
a famous Scot had been constantly growing. Marx once attributed John Low
as a chief herald of the loan, sarcastically noting that his “pleasant
character crosses a swindler and prophet.” Somewhat different was the
view of Saint-Simon, the famous thinker, who spoke about Low, “In his
character there was no greed, no cheating”. Having arrived in London,
the Scot had become a passionate preacher, even romantic of banking affairs,
repeatedly comparing the establishment of banks and development credit with
the “discovery of India”. Finally Low settled in Paris, got married
a young English girl Katrina Seiner and created another giant company “Indy
Express Inc.” in order to spread his system along the Mississippi River
in America (that time France owned it). You may learn about it on Audible

a politician, and a diplomat helped him to master the entire monetary and
credit system of France and become the Comptroller General of Finance. But
soon people stopped trusting “bits of paper” and began to dispose
the shares and notes. John Low and his son had to go to Brussels and then
to Venice. He was not allowed to come back to France, and his family was
not permitted to leave France (his wife and a daughter stayed in France).
His name now occupies a prominent place in the history of economic thought.
