Triumphant Plutocracy is a non-fiction book written by Richard F. Pettigrew that chronicles the history of American public life from 1870 to 1920. The book provides a detailed account of the rise of the wealthy elite, or plutocrats, during this time period and their influence on American society and politics.Pettigrew explores the economic, social, and political factors that contributed to the growth of the plutocracy, including the rise of big business, the expansion of railroads, and the emergence of new technologies. He also examines the ways in which the plutocrats used their wealth and power to shape public policy, control the media, and influence elections.Throughout the book, Pettigrew offers a critical analysis of the plutocracy and its impact on American democracy. He argues that the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals has led to a system of government that favors the interests of the wealthy over those of the general public.Triumphant Plutocracy is a well-researched and thought-provoking book that provides a fascinating insight into the history of American public life during a crucial period of change and transformation. It is recommended reading for anyone interested in the history of American politics and society, as well as those concerned about the role of wealth and power in modern democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
