Triumphant Plutocracy: The Story Of American Public Life From 1870 To 1920

By Richard Franklin Pettigrew

Book Overview

Triumphant Plutocracy is a book written by Richard F. Pettigrew that provides an in-depth analysis of American public life from the years 1870 to 1920. The book explores the rise of wealthy industrialists and their influence on American politics, economics, and society during this period. Pettigrew argues that the wealthy elites, or plutocrats, were able to consolidate their power and wealth through the manipulation of government policies, the control of the media, and the exploitation of workers. The book also discusses the impact of immigration, labor movements, and the rise of progressive reformers on American society. Triumphant Plutocracy is a comprehensive and thought-provoking read that sheds light on the complex dynamics of power and influence in American public life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
