Democracy and the Trusts

By Edwin Bloom Jennings

Book Overview

Democracy And The Trusts is a book written by Edwin B. Jennings in 1900. The book analyzes the relationship between democracy and the trusts, which were large corporations that dominated the American economy at the time. Jennings argues that the trusts were a threat to democracy because they wielded too much economic power and had the ability to influence politics. He examines the history of the trusts and their impact on society, as well as the legal and political efforts to regulate them. The book also explores the role of the media in shaping public opinion about the trusts, and the ways in which democracy can be strengthened to counteract their influence. Overall, Democracy And The Trusts is a seminal work in the history of American political and economic thought, and remains relevant today as debates about corporate power and democracy continue to rage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
