"This is the finest book in the English language on the Progressive Era." — Dr. Paul Gottfried
This is a book that only Murray Rothbard could have written, connecting the dots between the unholy alliance of state intellectuals, big business, and politicians of both parties. The insideous result is the establishment of large industrial cartels, the triumph of institutionalized racism, the growth of government-backed trade unions, and the glorification of military expansion abroad.
To understand the modern state, you must understand the Progressive Era. For this reason, Rothbard's posthumous masterpiece may be one of the most important books he ever wrote.
