| Summary |
"The Complete Works of Brann, the Iconoclast — Volume 10" by William Cowper Brann is a collection of critical essays and commentary written during the late 19th century. This volume includes a variety of pieces that engage with social, political, and economic issues of the time, offering a scathing critique of the plutocracy, labor concerns, and the injustices faced by working-class individuals. Brann's sharp wit and honest observations position him as a provocative commentator on the disparities of wealth and the moral dilemmas of American society. The opening of the volume introduces Brann's bold style as he discusses the disparity between the lives of the wealthy and the struggles of the working class, using George Gould's lavish lifestyle as a focal point. He scrutinizes the concept of a "business revival" that disproportionately benefits the rich while undermining the laborers' wages and living conditions. Brann's writing is characterized by an impassioned call to action against the economic systems that exploit the working class, as well as a keen eye for the absurdities present in contemporary society. This sets the stage for a collection filled with sharp social critique and a commitment to challenging the status quo. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
