Frenzied Finance and Modern Greed

The June number of Everybody's Magazine contains Mr. Lawson's article on “Frenzied Finance,” dealing with the first great crime of the Amalgamated Copper Company. His inimitable recital of the fraud and the cool, calculating trickery by which the people were robbed of millions of real money, and that apparently without recourse, is a terrible comment on the ungovernable greed of our times. Incidentally the writer brings to view the fearful prevalence of that spirit among all classes. It is one of the striking and unquestionable signs of our times.
