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."
