Very relevant today

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

Louis Brandeis was a progressive lawyer and associate justice of the Supreme Court who championed the cause of the common citizen. He spent most of his legal career fighting large money trusts and monopolies and was involved in preventing JP Morgan’s railroad monopoly. He personally experienced and understood the functions of large corporations and the corruption and inefficiencies they caused. This book was written to support regulating big corporations in order to protect the public good and remains very relevant today given the current political situation in the United States.

Bad OCR

Brandeis' writings are impeccable and instructive - without contest. This printing, however, is awful. It is obvious that the books was scanned and OCR performed because of the obvious errors in the book; and there are many.

Wonderful content, illegible typesetting

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

I decided to read this after reading We the Corporations, and the content has been living up to my expectations fully. It is a fascinating, well-written look at finances one hundred years ago that seems so very foreign and, at the same time, so very familiar (just substitute one name or business sector for another.).
However, the typesetting was SO BAD that some complete sentences were totally incomprehensible. I returned the book (Thank you, Amazon, for the prompt refund.0 and am going to spring for a slightly more expensive version in the hope it will be better.

Insightful analysis that applies even more today than it did when written in 1914...

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

A must read for anyone who questions the necessity of our fractional reserve fiat monetary system. More relevant today than when written in 1914 for one simple reason...the Federal Reserve was only just beginning then, and the bankers' global fiat monetary system was not yet unleashed upon the world. Yet even with their somewhat limited powers, as compared to today, the bankers of that day still had an amazingly large and adverse impact on our free market economic system. Brandeis's analysis of the monopolistic money trust is incredible and deserves 5 stars all by itself. He was truly a brilliant man, and an incorruptible champion of the people. That being said, what held me back to 4 stars is the progressive big government solutions he championed. The impact that this brilliant and incorruptible man had on the justification for big government as the check on the power of the money trust cannot be underestimated. Sadly, even though many see themselves capable of the greatness of a Brandeis, very few are. And greatness was what was needed to carry out the progressive big government solutions he championed. Given the current state of the bankers' monetary system, even after the mega-trillion dollar bailouts and "quantitative easing" funded by savers alive and savers not yet born, clearly what came after Brandeis was not greatness, but hubris --- and a highly compensated, morally bankrupt, deceptive, and corrupt hubris at that.

It's worth repeating that Brandeis's analysis, especially his analysis on wave after wave of purposeless business consolidation and the failures of banker management, was absolutely brilliant. Multiply what he wrote about the money trust and the monopolies they created back then by about a thousand, and you get a general idea of the trouble we face today in breaking the death grip the money trust and their political enablers have on our economic and political freedom.

Distressingly familiar

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

I have been reading dozens of books within the past 2 years on investing and the stock market / US business history. I read this book after Galbraith's The Great Crash 1929 [really excellent!] and am currently reading Josephson's The Robber Barons [also excellent]. All three of these books are over 50 years old, and can seem dated in their prose style [not a problem for me - maybe since I am also over 50], but the material is very fresh and timely, if a bit depressing. The rigging of our financial system to fleece the many in favor of the few did not start in the dot.com era or with the junk bond kings.

I highly recommend the edition of Other People's Money edited by Urofsky because his introduction adds a great deal to this slim volume which began life as a series of even shorter magazine articles.

Overall, Distressingly familiar [even many of the names have not changed after 100 years]!

Publication Info is Missing!

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had to read this for an Econ History class. While it is not a hard read, attempting to cite this is a nightmare. The product details says it is published by CrateSpace Feb 20, 2009, my copy says "Seven Treasures Publications, copy write 2009" no city, no other information, and I cannot find it on google. On the back it says "Made in Lexington, KY 25 March 2018" (when I ordered it). Wish I got a copy from somewhere else. I have not run into the OCR/ typos as other people have though.

Extremely detailed Exposition

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I admire the writer of this exposition of the banker's/investment banking ability to monopolize various industries in America. He shows that the structure isn't benefiting the American people and should be dissolved and reconfigured for the betterment of the people.

Very good book

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

Louis D. Brandeis showcases his genius when analyzing how the money trust controlled many industries in the United States during the beginning of the 20th century. The interlocking directorates, the acquisition of related corporations, such as insurance companies, money trusts and investment banks, made commercial banks the most powerful institutions of the economy in the United States.
