Democracy And The Trusts (1900)

By Edwin Bloom Jennings

Book Overview

Democracy and the Trusts is a book written by Edwin B. Jennings in 1900. The book discusses the relationship between democracy and the rise of trusts in the United States during the late 19th century. Jennings argues that the growth of trusts, which were large corporations that controlled entire industries, posed a threat to democracy by creating monopolies and limiting competition. He also explores the role of government in regulating trusts and promoting a more democratic economy. The book is a historical analysis of the economic and political landscape of the United States during the Gilded Age and provides insight into the debates surrounding the regulation of trusts and the protection of democracy.
