The Treason Of The Senate: Cosmopolitan Magazine, V40, No. 5, March, 1906 - Hardcover

by David Graham Phillips (Author)

""The Treason of the Senate"" is a political expos����� published in the March 1906 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, written by American journalist and novelist David Graham Phillips. The book criticizes the United States Senate for being corrupt and controlled by big business interests. Phillips argues that senators are more interested in serving the interests of corporations and wealthy individuals than the American people. The book details instances of bribery and corruption by senators, including the selling of political appointments and the manipulation of legislation to benefit corporations. Phillips also argues that the Senate's lack of accountability and transparency makes it impossible for the American people to hold their elected officials accountable. ""The Treason of the Senate"" was highly controversial when it was published and led to Phillips being criticized by politicians and the media. However, it is now considered a classic work of muckraking journalism and an important critique of American politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
