Brandeis published his warning about the centralization of financial power in the US in 1914. Melvin L. Urofsky (constitutional history, Virginia Commonwealth U.-Richmond) decided to edit and publish a new edition, ostensibly to be used in college courses about Progressive-era history and reform. But he also suggests that, though the numbers and (some of) the names have changed, and though the national scene has become global, the patterns of ownership and behavior Brandeis described and the political and social consequences he foresaw are chillingly familiar today.

Other People's Money, and How the Bankers Use It

Franklin Classics Trade Press

Covers the later years of his life, closing with his death. This volume, which opens after the great schism in the Zionist movement and closes with Brandeis’s death, depicts him trying, in a variety of ways, to make the world a better place. Once again, the scope of his interests and the intensity of his involvement is astounding. He writes on Zionism, Palestine, the liberal press, economics, the University of Louisville, family affairs, Savings Bank Life Insurance, the Harvard Law School, unemployment compensation, prohibition enforcement, civil liberties, and much more. The book also includes a cumulative index to all five volumes that will make it easier for students and scholars to trace the various threads that were woven together in the quite remarkable life of this one man.

Economics

A key document in the Progressive era, Other People's Money conveys a sense of moral outrage and political anger over the costs of the industrialization of the United States on traditional social and political values. A devastating book, “Other People’s Money” was written with eloquence, force, and passion by Louis D. Brandeis, who would one day be a future Supreme Court justice and one of history's greatest Americans. As it turns out, he wrote a book that applies just as well in the early 21st century as it did in the early 20th. Perhaps the best part, for busy readers, is that “Other People's Money” is a short tome which can be polished off in one sitting. Expect to be floored, however, by how effortlessly Brandeis's arguments of so many years ago carry over to today.
