Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the creation and early years of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, a fire insurance industry self-regulatory organization that standardized fire insurance rates to facilitate fair competition and encourage financial stability within the industry. After the great fire of Chicago exposed weaknesses in the industry, leaders within the fire insurance industry formed the National Board of Fire Underwriters to revise and regulate industry practices and standards and to standardize rates, creating a more stable economic environment for participating companies. Their efforts were complicated by factors like the prevailing mood of post-fire economy and disagreements between member agents that at times prevented consensus on rate changes and other necessary reforms. The book not only provides insight into the operations and challenges of the National Board of Fire Underwriters in the years following its formation but also offers a glimpse into the development of the fire insurance industry as a whole during that period.
