An acclaimed vintage detailing the monetary record of America in the late 19th and early on 20th hundreds of years and exposing the capitalist giants who changed the earth.

Inside the decades following the Civil Conflict, America entered a time of unprecedented corporate and business development, with ultimate financial power in the hands of a few rich industrialists who exploited the capitalist system for everything it was well worth.

While distant actions may appear unrelated to current events, rereading about the past almost always provides astonishing insights into the present."
