Description
This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.
There are few indictments of the American banking system as searing as Other Peoples Money and How the Bankers Use It, written by Louis D. Brandeis in 1913. Long considered one of the major muckraking exposs of the Progressive period, it still speaks powerfully to our own times. The book led to the establishment of stringent regulations on the banking system, rules that undergirded decades of prosperity and stability for both banks and the American economy after World War II. Weakening those rules led to the great banking meltdown of 2008, when once again the greed and recklessness that Brandeis had warned about triggered a major depression and cost hundreds of thousands of people their jobs and homes.
