Sinopsis

In Other PeopleâÇÖs Money And How The Banks Use It, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis denounces corporatism, monopolies, investment bankers, and above all, the total consolidation of American wealth into the hands of a privileged few. Completely uncensored, there are few indictments of the American banking system as incendiary.áLOUIS D. BRANDEIS was an Associate Justice Of The Supreme Court and a patriot. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest crusaders for social justice in our nationâÇÖs history, credited with drafting our most important Right To Privacy Laws, as well as championing our right to freedom of speech. He wrote 'Other PeopleâÇÖs Money and How Bankers Use It' to warn the American people about the greedy bankers that control the United States and drive us into financial ruin.ááWhile Louis D. BrandeisâÇÖs series of articles on the money trust was running in HarperâÇÖs Weekly many inquiries came about publication in more accessible permanent form. Even without such urgence through the mail, however, it would have been clear that these articles inevitably constituted a book, since they embodied an analysis and a narrative by that mind which, on the great industrial movements of our era, is the most expert in the United States.áThe inquiries meant that the attentive public recognized that here was a contribution to history. Here was the clearest and most profound treatment ever published on that part of our business development which, as President Wilson and other wise men have said, has come to constitute the greatest of our problems. The story of our time is the story of industry.áNo scholar of the future will be able to describe our era with authority unless he comprehends that expansion and concentration which followed the harnessing of steam and electricity, the great uses of the change, and the great excesses.áNo historian of the future, in my opinion, will find among our contemporary documents so masterful an analysis of why concentration went astray. I am but one among many who look upon Mr. Brandeis as having, in the field of economics, the most inventive and sound mind of our time.áWhile his articles were running in HarperâÇÖs Weekly I had ample opportunity to know how widespread was the belief among intelligent men that this brilliant diagnosis of our money trust was the most important contribution to current thought in many years. 'Great' is one of the words that I do not use loosely, and I look upon Mr. Brandeis as a great man. In the composition of his intellect, one of the most important elements is his comprehension of figures.áAs one of the leading financiers of the country said to me, 'Mr. BrandeisâÇÖs greatness as a lawyer is part of his greatness as a mathematician.' My views on this subject are sufficiently indicated in the following editorial in HarperâÇÖs Weekly.á
