Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a cogent manifesto for a comprehensive national system of anti-poverty laws. The author, an outspoken social reformer from the late 19th and early 20th century, argues that the unchecked accumulation of wealth in the hands of a tiny elite has corrupted the United States' economy. He argues such circumstances have disproportionately burdened the nation's working class, making economic prosperity an unattainable dream. The author maintains that the only way to solve this growing problem is to institute a progressive tax system that drastically increases the tax rate as wealth increases. By doing so, this system would curb predatory wealth and provide the government with the resources necessary to address widespread poverty. The author's ideas, born out of the rampant economic inequality of the industrial revolution, resonate with modern readers living in an era of growing wealth disparity. This book's strident critique of unrestrained capitalism and its indictment of the negative impact of severe income inequality make it a provocative and relevant read for anyone concerned about the widening gap between the rich and everyone else. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259415480_0
