USA ’53: The Truth about Eisenhower

Description

'Truman was chosen by an old-style political “boss”; Eisenhower by the heads of the most powerful grouping of monopoly capital in the United States.' American capitalism and American foreign policy post-WW2 are fashioned by the Money Power, reflecting the assertion of President Abraham Lincoln in 1864: "As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." -- p.94 I.
