Hardcover, enlarged format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1924 volume is the first Russian edition of Gustavus Myers' critical study of American wealth, translated from the German version of his work. Published in the early years of the Soviet Union by the State Publishing House, this translation served an explicit ideological purpose: to provide a Marxist critique of American capitalism by examining the origins and accumulation of colossal fortunes during the Gilded Age. The book details the creation of primary capital through land speculation, trade, and shipping, with specific chapters analyzing the fortunes of iconic tycoons like John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Jay Gould. As an early Soviet publication, it represents the regime's effort to educate its citizens about the perceived flaws and injustices of the Western economic system, making it a valuable artifact of early Soviet propaganda and intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963041906730,"sku":"EB-306513065145","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_19ef0dba-61c4-43f1-8e4f-2d5d47c8a553.jpg?v=1768160467","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/history-great-american-fortunes-1924-%d0%bc%d0%b0%d0%b9%d0%b5%d1%80%d1%81-%d0%b8%d1%81%d1%82%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b8%d1%8f-%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b0%d0%bd%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d1%85-%d0%bc%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%b4%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%be%d0%b2-%d1%821","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
