Excerpt from Looking Further Backward

The enormous growth of private fortunes and the organization of capital by great corporations have been so sudden, and have so altered our social sys tem from what it was thirty years ago, that men are bewildered at the change. The elder men cannot realize it. It is the younger men alone who see that the chains and shackles which a bloody war struck from the African, are being rivetted anew upon the laboring man. They alone see that the existence of great private fortunes is a menace to the welfare of the State, and that (with a few honorable exceptions) their possessors are public enemies.
