This book is not just a treatise on economics; nor is it a handy manual for investors. It purports to go deeper than that, down toward the root of things. It is partly the expression of a lifelong aspiration to promote a greater equality of opportunity among men. Contents: Before the war; corporate vehicles; getting out from under; giving up control; new thoroughfares; light at the crossways; impublicity; our railroads; planning ahead; more light and power too; public utilities.
