Subject: Describing a changing economic landscape
This is an autobiographical account by a traditional American small business owner against the growing pressures of greedy corporatism.
To give an idea of his perspective, he writes:
"... when I first went into business people seemed to see things with a clearer eye than they do now. No one, for example, thought of money-making as a noble enterprise. If a man amassed more money than he needed to live on, it was understood he did it for his own selfish satisfaction. He would just about have been laughed out of town if he claimed he wanted money only for the good he could do with it."
