The Economic Causes Of Great Fortunes (1909)

By Anna Youngman

Book Overview

The Economic Causes Of Great Fortunes is a book written by Anna Prichitt Youngman in 1909. The book explores the economic factors that contribute to the accumulation of great wealth, particularly in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Youngman examines the role of monopolies, trusts, and other forms of corporate consolidation in creating vast fortunes, as well as the impact of government policies and economic conditions on wealth accumulation. She also delves into the social and ethical implications of extreme wealth inequality, arguing that the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few individuals ultimately harms society as a whole. The book provides a critical analysis of the economic system of the time and offers insights into the ongoing debate over wealth distribution and economic justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
