Synopsis

This book examines the political and economic conditions which fostered the sabotage of America's industrial growth in the early 20th century. The author identifies the misuse of power by large corporations, especially since the turn of the century, as the root cause of America's stagnation in production and distribution. The text delves into how private interests used their political power to consolidate their economic advantages, with a particular focus on the railroad industry. The author argues that the collusion between the government, big banks, the railroad industry, and large corporations created a system in which monopolies and trusts strangled competition, limited production, and sabotaged the potential growth of the American economy.
