Other People's Money

Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It is a collection of essays by Louis D. Brandeis, published in 1914. The book critiques the consolidation of industries under a few corporations and the role of investment bankers in perpetuating monopolistic practices. Brandeis highlights how these bankers, who controlled significant funds from the middle class, prioritized their interests over competition and innovation. The work is notable for its detailed analysis of financial power and its influence on American wealth distribution, supported by evidence from the Pujo Committee's Congressional investigation.
