Synopsis
Excerpt from The Other Side: A Social Study Based on Fact
Italiam l Italiam I cried Eneas, as be ap proached the site of Rome with the venerated images of immortal society, which he carried into exile when Troy was doomed to flames and cinders. Thus from the ashes of Troy, in a new land, society arose, Phoenix like, and with purified splendor made Home the mistress of the world. And so it has been from the beginning; races have become extinct, nations have disappeared and civilizations have been lost in the gloomy abyss of time but human society has never perished from amid the ruins of the monuments of man's prowess, the destruction of states and the obliteration of races, it has arisen, civilization's sun, to shine with greater brightness upon new worlds and the reorganized remnants of states and nations. Society existed the moment man was created it is a fundamental law and the im pulse of his moral nature, and is not the offspring of his intelligence - it is of God and not of man. Adam in the morning of his manhood found him self face to face with Eve, a being similar to himself, and in the first hour of their existence, each owed something to the other, and from each there was something due; there were rights to be respected and duties to be performed, and this was society, governed then as now, by two laws, one divine.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the 19th century, a time of great upheaval in the United States. Against the backdrop of the pre-Civil War era, the author explores the devastating consequences of a financial crisis on the lives of ordinary people, particularly farmers. We meet Richard Arbyght, a man who dreams of a better life for his family, but whose ambitions are tragically cut short by a violent robbery. His wife, Irene, is left to grapple with the loss of her husband and the uncertainty of the future. The book delves into the stark social inequalities of the time, highlighting the injustices faced by those who are vulnerable to the machinations of powerful financial interests. The author uses the story of Richard and Irene to expose the predatory nature of the "wildcat banks" that were prevalent in the era, and the devastating impact they had on ordinary people. Through the voice of Squire Stanley, a wise and principled character, the author also offers a thoughtful critique of the lack of a national currency, arguing that a system where money is controlled by the state would better protect the interests of the common man. The book is a compelling narrative that weaves together personal tragedy, social commentary, and a call for a fairer economic system, leaving readers to contemplate the enduring relevance of the themes it explores.
