Hatuxka’s Reviews > Money, Power, and the People: The American Struggle to Make Banking Democratic > Status Update

First thing on hearing about this book was to look for was whether William Jennings Bryan was prominent in this history. H.L. Mencken treats Bryan as a fool, drawing from Bryan’s anti-evolution part in the Scopes Trial, but sifting in some reference to his Cross of Gold speech & stance. Bryan is, rightly. Also, Marriner Eccles, the great force for banking reform in the New Deal.
