| Summary | "Wealth Against Commonwealth" by Henry Demarest Lloyd is a critical socio-economic analysis written in the late 19th century. The text addresses the growing issue of monopolies and trusts that control industries and markets, significantly impacting the livelihoods of the general populace. Through a realist lens, Lloyd explores the relationship between wealth and liberty, suggesting that the concentration of wealth in a few hands undermines the freedom of the many. The opening of the work sets the stage for a deep exploration of economic disparities in America, contrasting the vast riches produced by the country with the persistent poverty faced by the majority. Lloyd begins by asserting that despite natural wealth, the majority of the population is deprived of the resources they produce due to the manipulation and insatiable greed of monopolistic entities. He introduces key themes such as the imbalance of production versus consumption, critiques of contemporary economic theories, and the ramifications of corporate power over individual rights. This lays a foundation for his broader critique of capitalism and calls for accountability from those who hold economic power. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
