Charles Beard was mentioned on The Writers Almanac on NPR on 11-27-2013. I am reading it and it is really making me mad. Contemporary is right! The first chapter is about how the blacks and poor whites were disenfranchised in the South after Reconstruction. It sound so much like the voter suppression of today. Next chapter is about the railroads and other industrialists who got millions of public assets for them selves. Including millions of acres of public land granted to them by their cronies in Congress. Again so much like right now.
