Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In the Gilded Age of American history, a tale of ambition, greed, and corruption unfolded that would shake the foundations of democracy. Credit Mobilier, a company founded to finance the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, became the center of a scandal that reached the highest levels of government.

This book tells the story of Credit Mobilier's rise and fall, from its humble beginnings to its ignominious collapse. It delves into the intricate financial schemes used by the company's founders to enrich themselves at the expense of the government and the American people.

The book also sheds light on the political machinations that allowed Credit Mobilier to operate with impunity for so long. It reveals the names of the congressmen who were bribed and the methods used to secure their cooperation.

The Credit Mobilier scandal is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and corruption in politics. It is a reminder that those in power must be held accountable for their actions and that the public must be vigilant in its oversight of government.

This book is a comprehensive and well-researched account of one of the most notorious scandals in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, or the role of money in politics.

Coming Together

Sean McCutcheon

The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.
