The New Plutocracy (1903)

By John Calvin Reed

Book Overview

The New Plutocracy is a book written by John Calvin Reed in 1903. The book discusses the rise of the wealthy elite in America, which Reed refers to as the ""new plutocracy."" Reed argues that this new class of wealthy individuals has gained immense power and influence over American politics and society, and that this has led to a growing divide between the rich and the poor.Reed examines the various ways in which the new plutocracy has consolidated its power, such as through the control of the media, the manipulation of elections, and the use of wealth to influence government policies. He also discusses the impact of this concentration of power on American democracy and the potential consequences if this trend continues unchecked.The book is a critique of the growing inequality in American society and a call to action for citizens to resist the influence of the new plutocracy and fight for a more equitable society. It is a thought-provoking analysis of the political and economic forces shaping America at the turn of the 20th century, and its insights remain relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
