Other People's Money

A key document in the Progressive era, Other People's Money conveys a sense of moral outrage and political anger over the costs of the industrialization of the United States on traditional social and political values. A devastating book, "Other People's Money" was written with eloquence, force, and passion by Louis D. Brandeis, who would one day be a future Supreme Court justice and one of history's greatest Americans. As it turns out, he wrote a book that applies just as well in the early 21st century as it did in the early 20th. Perhaps the best part, for busy readers, is that "Other People's Money" is a short tome which can be polished off in one sitting. Expect to be floored, however, by how effortlessly Brandeis's arguments of so many years ago carry over to today.
