The Conflict between Private Monopoly and Good Citizenship by John Graham Brooks
"The Conflict between Private Monopoly and Good Citizenship" by John Graham Brooks is an analytical essay published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1909. This book falls under the category of social critique and focuses on the relationship between private monopolies and the ethical responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic society. It explores the historical and structural factors that contribute to the dominance of monopolies in the United States and examinesthe implications for public welfare and governance. In this work, Brooks argues that private monopolies have corrupted political systems, undermined good citizenship, and created a disconnect between economic power and public accountability. He discusses how the excessive pursuit of wealth and individualism has led to lawlessness and ethical compromise in both business practices and politics. The author outlines the necessity for social control and regulation of monopolistic powers to safeguard the interests of the community against exploitative practices. Brooks presents a vision for a future in which government, rather than private interests, prioritizes public welfare, advocating for a form of economic management that benefits all citizens rather than a privileged few.
