"The corporations of America mean to rule it..., and, unless some power more radical than that of ordinary politics is found, will rule it inevitably."
-Wendell Phillips, Address to the Labor-Reform Convention (1871)
Lawless Wealth (1908) by Charles Edward Russell features articles previously published in Everybody's Magazine as a series entitled "Where Did You Get It, Gentlemen?" and focuses on the indiscretions Russell uncovered after investigating great wealth in America's largest cities. His exposé also uncovers the corruption of the tobacco industry. This muckraking journalism is timeless in its revelation of the intricacies of big business unknown to the average person. This is an ideal addition to the personal library of anyone interested in what really goes on behind a company's doors.
