Review Roundup

Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It by Louis D. Brandeis is praised for its incisive critique of financial monopolies and insightful analysis of banking practices. However, some readers find its early 20th-century context limits its applicability today. Brandeis' advocacy for transparency and reform remains highly relevant and compelling.
