Item description from seller

New York: Frederick A. Stokes Co., 1914. 1st ed. Passing the Progressive Torch: An Exceptional Association Copy of Brandeis's Antitrust Masterpiece, Inscribed by Felix Frankfurter to One of His "Happy Hot Dogs" Brandeis, Louis D. [1856-1941]. Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It. New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, [1914]. First edition, first issue. Octavo (190 x 125 mm). xiv, [2], 223 pp. Publisher's original olive-drab cloth, front board and spine lettered in gilt. Small, faint stain to front board; light rubbing and wear to spine ends and corners; majority of gilding rubbed away from spine title. Text block moderately toned due. A very good, structurally sound copy. Gift inscription from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter to his protege and prominent New Deal attorney, Francis M. Shea, on the front free endpaper. Housed in a custom green morocco clamshell box. $2,500. * First edition of Brandeis's landmark Progressive Era critique of "Our Financial Oligarchy," based on his series of articles published in Harper's Weekly from 1913 to 1914.

Brandeis and Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) shared one of the most famous mentorships in American legal history; when Brandeis ascended to the high court in 1916, Frankfurter effectively took over his role as the chief intellectual advisor to the progressive movement. Frankfurter subsequently used his post at Harvard Law School to funnel his brightest students, affectionately nicknamed his "Happy Hot Dogs," directly into FDR's New Deal administration to implement these very ideals. This copy was inscribed by Frankfurter to one of those prized students, Francis M. Shea (1905-1989; LL.B., 1928). By gifting this specific text to Shea, Frankfurter was quite literally passing down.…
