Why read it?
1 author picked The Politicos, 1865-1896 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a sequel to the author’s famous The Robber Barons. His detailed primary research into campaigns and negotiations between politicians and their backers illuminates many subjects that later historians have too quickly passed over. Because he knew so much about the economy, Josephson also zeros in again and again on the driving forces that later work often dissolves into bromides about “concentrated wealth” and such. Josephson shows you the people and the institutions actually at work.
From Thomas' list on understanding money and power in the United States.
