Lundberg's level of detail is impressive, and he could have easily
continued for another thousand pages. The most valuable chapters are those
that describe the American tax system. Philanthropic foundations were set up
by and for rich people as thinly-disguised holding companies, to keep wealth
and power inside the family, and keep the tax man at bay. Lundberg's account
of the 1962 Wright Patman investigation into foundations is quite thorough;
moreover, it's the only one we've seen. This book frequently mentions people
like the the DuPonts, the Fords, and the Rockefellers; Lundberg also wrote
"The Rockefeller Syndrome" in 1976. If he were still with us, and able to
watch the creeping globalization being forced on us by wealthy elites,
Lundberg would be one of the few American commentators qualified to say,
"I told you so."
