Rather than focusing on abstract economic theory, the book examines how a small group of industrialists, bankers, railroad magnates, and corporate organizers accumulated extraordinary influence in the United States after the Civil War and before the crash of 1929. Allen presents the rise of the American financial elite as a historical process shaped by rapid industrial expansion, weak regulation, speculative practices, and public deference to wealth. The book is both a narrative account of the Gilded Age and a cautionary study of how concentrated private power can shape markets, politics, and public culture. Its purpose is not simply to describe rich individuals, but to explain the structures that allowed their dominance and the consequences that followed for the wider economy and democracy.
