The Tontine

A History

Beschreibung

For almost 200 years, beginning in the late seventeenth century, the tontine â essentially, a shared investment fund with benefit of survivorship - was a ubiquitous financial instrument. From meeting rooms to libraries, public baths to theatres, from armies to medicine and on to religion, the scheme was everywhere.
