Lords Of Industry

By Henry Demarest Lloyd

Book Overview

Lords of Industry is a historical book written by Henry Demarest Lloyd. The book is an in-depth analysis of the rise of monopolies and trusts in the United States during the late 19th century. The author argues that the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few industrialists had a negative impact on the economy and society as a whole. Lloyd examines the tactics used by these ""lords of industry"" to gain and maintain their monopolies, such as price-fixing, bribery, and political influence. He also explores the consequences of their actions, including the exploitation of workers, the suppression of competition, and the erosion of democracy. The book is a well-researched and thought-provoking critique of the capitalist system and its effects on American society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American industry and the evolution of capitalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
