THE CONFESSION OF A TRUST MAGNATE Picture the combined navies of the world anchored off our seaboard cities, the com­bined armies of the world in possession of our inland cities, envoys from each nation congregated at Washington partitioning our country, the entire population being appor­tioned as slaves to do the bidding of the conquerors. Would you be interested? An equally appalling situation confronts the people of this country to-day. Read of it in the following pages. "In this magnificent country of ours there is a growing unrest. Workers complain of hardships in terms of employment and housing accommodations, poverty is attendant upon many, and the cost of living has become oppressive to a large majority of the inhabitants. Formerly affluent people have been compelled to forego their accustomed luxuries and those previously in comfortable circumstances are now forced to practice the most rigid economy to make ends meet. While these conditions exist, it is noticeable that a comparatively few are amassing fabulous fortunes and becoming absolute dictators of the big business affairs and the government of our country." That was written in 1911. It could have as easily been written today -- 2012.

AND WHAT YOU CAN DO (even as a little guy) TO STOP THIS OPPRESSION! In 1911, George Allen Yuille broke ranks with his fellow big business moguls and wrote an exposè about money. No. More than an exposè. It was a bearing of his soul and a sincere apology for usurping the power of his fellow citizens through his belief in his Divine Right to control the destiny of others. The honesty and simplicity by which Mr. Yuille pulls back the curtain to teach us about money and expose the hypocrisy practiced in the manipulation and usurpation of our money is truly unsurpassed. It must have caused quite a stir!
