The Rich and the Super-Rich
In the late 1930s bombshell of a book appeared which told the story of the lords of wealth and their glittering clans. It was called AMERICA'S SIXTY FAMILIES. It rocked the nation and became a classic. Lundberg showed how America was ruled by a plutocracy of inherited wealth, even under the New Deal. At the time he could only provide a sampling of the economic and political patterns of those families, which, for one reason or another, had come under public scrutiny. In addition to the Sixty Families he dealt with in depth, he was able to outline the probable holdings of a few hundred other families. The author, in writing THE RICH AND THE SUPER-RICH, had at his disposal infinitely richer dat...
The Rockefeller Syndrome
In this monumental study, Lundberg traces the illegal origins of the family fortune and follows its growth and effects down through today. He is at his best when he zeroes in on the grandsons: John the third, Laurance, Winthrop, Nelson and David. They are America’s shadowy guides with their fingers into hundreds of pies. And here is the carefully researched tale of who they are, how they operate and what they’re done with what they’re won. Won by inheritance, that is. Nor does Lundberg neglect the Cousins: the great-grandchildren of John D. Senior, who will one day inherit it all. THE ROCKEFELLER SYNDROME is no mere chit-chat biography. It is a wide-ranging study of wielded power and money in action. It is the chronicle of the on-going milking and deception of the American wage-earner and taxpayer. It explains clearly how those much-hailed philanthropies are but one more heavy burden on the inflation-laden, tax-weary backs of lower and middle-class America.
America's 60 Families
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Imperial Hearst
Hearst’s journalistic ethics were probably never more clearly exposed than during the national election campaign of 1936. It is true that eighty per cent of the newspapers in the United States spread slanders and calumnies against the President. But the Hearst organs pulled all the stops and thundered vilification with all the resources at their command. The President was portrayed as a lunatic, a wastrel arid a cartoonist’s version of a frothing Communist. Picture and text described him and his advisers as dangerously radical, malicious and altogether feeble-minded. The Hearst press did not hesitate to attribute the source of Roosevelt’s social legislation to Moscow. Nor did consistency deter Hearst from charging plagiarism from Hitler and Mussolini. His newspapers shouted denunciation and abuse. Sound familiar? This work is the only complete exposition of the financial, political and social results of the career of William Randolph Hearst.
Children of Strangers
Proud mulatto colony ostracizes girl, who sacrifices everything for her white child.
