Lawless Wealth: The Origin Of Some Great American Fortunes is a historical book written by Charles Edward Russell in 1908. The book provides a detailed account of the rise of some of the wealthiest families in America, including the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Carnegies. Russell explores the questionable and often illegal practices used by these families to amass their fortunes, including monopolies, bribery, and exploitation of workers. He also delves into the political corruption and lack of regulation that allowed these practices to thrive. The book is a scathing critique of the American capitalist system and the wealthy elite who controlled it. It remains a relevant and insightful read for anyone interested in the history of American wealth and power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
