Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Passing of the Idle Rich
In this nation, the very soul Of which is the spirit of democracy, we have evolved a very elaborate and extremely complex society. Like all such organizations, in all the lands under the sun, it is an Oli garchy; one might almost say a tyranny. Its rulers for the most part inherit their power and rule by hereditary right. The foundations Of this society and the foun dations of the power of its rulers were laid in generations now dead and gone. Time has crystallized its rules into laws and formulated its conventions into tenets.
