The Federal Constitution is intended to preserve free institutions
in the United States. It was amended for Prohibition and Woman
Suffrage. Why not amend it to limit excessive private fortunes? The
Sherman anti-trust law has failed to check extortion by private
monopoly. Why not check the greed of those who control private
monopoly? -from Dynastic America The early 20th-century equivalent
of today's aggressive and opinionated political bloggers, Henry
Klein wrote a series of searing diatribes against what he perceived
as the civic and social injustices of his day. Here, Klein decries
the "invisible government" of "great wealth," the legacy of the
Gilded Age that showed no sign of giving up its privileged position
in the post-World War I period. This book, first published in 1921,
combines Klein's enraged commentary with the irrefutable facts of
the concentration of wealth in America. His lists of who possessed
stunning amounts of wealth are staggering-Andrew Carnegie was worth
$300 million; William Waldorf Astor, $200 million-but they are
nothing to the unimaginable billions today's richest command. As
both historical document and cautionary warning in today's highly
divisive economy, this is a fascinating book. HENRY H. KLEIN also
wrote Standard Oil or the People (1914) and Bankrupting a Great
City (1915).
