Download Plunkitt of Tammany Hall: A Series of Very Plain Talks on Very Practical Politics AudioBook Free
In the times of Tammany Hall, politicians like George Washington Plunkitt spent their careers operating to metropolis - but first and most important in the service of the political machine. Plunkitt seems to never have doubted exactly where he stood on the deeply corrupt yet amazingly effective politics and authorities where he spent his life; he was totally in favor of it and offered it his committed service while becoming a millionaire in return. He was instrumental in increasing the brand new York City park system and in creating the Museum of Natural Record, the 155th Neighborhood Viaduct, and a great many other public advancements - and he profited handsomely from his insider's understanding of the real real estate areas of them all. In this particular audiobook, William L. Riordan, one of the "muckracker" journalists, documents Plunkitt's take on politics in Plunkitt's own words - as sent from the bootblack stand at the brand new York County Courthouse, Plunkitt's only office. His take on life, politics, and morality is as delightfully frank as it is astonishingly cynical. Enjoy!
