Other People’s Money and How the Bankers Use it.

BRANDEIS, LOUIS D.

Frederick A. Stokes

New York

1914

A classic work, whose importance is underscored only by the author’s later impact as Supreme Court Justice. A key document of the Progressive era, “Other People’s Money” conveys a sense of moral outrage and political anger over the predatory practices and costs associated with the industrialization of the United States on traditional social and political values. The work strongly influenced both Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom agenda and Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. Kentucky-born Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941) was a crucial leader of the American Zionist Movement.
