Description

The Struggle For Self-Government is a book written by Lincoln Steffens in 1906. The book attempts to trace the roots of political corruption in six states of the United States. The author argues that the struggle for self-government is an ongoing battle in the United States, and that corruption is a major obstacle to achieving true democracy. Through his investigations in six states, Steffens exposes the corrupt practices of politicians, including bribery, election fraud, and the manipulation of the legal system. He also examines the role of big business in politics, and how it has influenced the political landscape. The book is a critical analysis of the American political system, and a call to action for citizens to take a more active role in the democratic process.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
