About This Item
Chicago: Manufacturers And Merchants Federal Tax League, 1925. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Presumed first edition. Hardcover in black cloth lettered in gilt. x+ 206 pp. with index, publisher's adverts bound in between pp. 192 and the index. Inscribed and dated at Chicago, Jan.6, 1926 by the author on the front free endpaper. Tight, near fine example, spine lettering somewhat rubbed. An "expose" charging that there was a "gigantic, nation-wide scheme, backed by special interests, engineered by Prof. Richard Ely...set on foot in our educational institutions to lead people not toward the right solution of our economic probles but away from it." Regardless of its merits in its time, it has resonance today as a large portion of the work deals with taxation inequities.
