Descripción del artículo del vendedor

349, Xi Pp. Blue Cloth, Gilt. Second Printing Of This Edition, First Published 1943, With A New Introduction By Historian Charles A. Beard. The 1895 First Edition Is Scarce, Although The Uk First Is Obtainable. Per The Front Flap, "It Is One Of The Great Landmarks In The Literature Of American Protest Against The Rule Of Plutocracy". Beard: "What Brooks Did Was To Concentrate Heavily On The Operations Of A Particular Type Of Economic Interest: The Driving Greed Of The Usurer Or Finance Capitalist, Never Able To Satiate His Lust For Money And Power." Some May Find The Book Excoriates Modern Preferences And Tastes, Always Presumably Of Others, More Than The Misuse Of Political Power In America Or Elsewhere, An Issue Which Would Strike Closer To Home For Him. Brooks Was Son Of Charles Francis Adams, Us Congressman And Ambassador To Great Britain, Grandson Of President John Quincy Adams And Also Of Peter Chardon Brooks, The Wealthiest Man In Massachusetts At The Time Of His Death, Great-Grandson Of President John Adams, And Spouse Of The Daughter Of An Admiral, Whose Sister Anna Married America's Most Prominent And Influential Us Senator, Henry Cabot Lodge, And Whose Sister Louisa Married The Son Of Stephen Luce, Admiral And Founder Of The Us War College.

Brooks Wrote Another Book On The Gold Standard, 1894, And Yet Another On America's Economic Supremacy, 1900, And The New Empire, 1902. To Begin With. History Written From A Seemingly Endless And Un-Self-Aware Conservative-Aristocratic Political Genealogy. Yet, He Also Wrote "Theory Of Social Revolutions", 1913, And That Same Year, An Article In The Atlantic "The Collapse Of Capitalistic Government"; But All Betray No Consciousness That It Is The Misuse Of Political Power In Day- To P- Day Government Operations In Favor Of A Narrow Elite Which Constitutes The Basic Problem Of Government. …
