Vanishing Landmarks: The Trend Toward Bolshevism

A former Treasury Secretary and governor analyzes postwar social and political currents, warning that growing radicalism threatens republican institutions. He contrasts representative government with direct democracy, reviews the Constitutional Convention and principles of constitutional liberty, and critiques administrative practices such as the post office, civil service, and retirement systems. He examines economic questions including property rights, income equality, unearned increments, capital and labor relations, and the influence of payroll dependence. The book combines historical commentary, institutional critique, and policy prescriptions aimed at preserving constitutional order and urging citizens to think and act to avert a drift toward collectivism.
