When the people of the United States resolved to put an end to the corporation which, rising upon the ruins of tlie old continental currency, amidst the wants and distresses of the revolution, early displayed its native instinctive hostility to justice, equality, and the liberties of the people; and which, after a few years of into-regmim and anarchy while the people, burthened with the debts they had incurred as the price of their liberty, were torn by rival factions, and distracted by the petty jealousies of thirteen sovereign States was ingrafted into their new government before they had learnt its strength and resources, distinctly marked its limitations, or tested its capacity for good or evil; and which again, after a few years suspension of its existence, reviving, like a phosnix, from the ashes of national calamity, clothed with renewed strength, and endowed with mightier privileges, was forced upon their necks, under the pretence of expediency and necessity, in the midst of war and national calamity.

The book explores the dangers of unchecked corporate power and the corrupting influence of money in politics, arguing that these forces have subverted the principles of democracy. Through its insights into the historical and contemporary struggles for liberty, this book provides a valuable perspective on the ongoing battle for control between the people and those who seek to wield power over them.
