Money and Morals

Money and Morals in America
A History

By Patricia O'Toole

Money and Morals in America recounts the history of the conflict between greed and good in our country. O'Toole looks at 13 case studies, from John Winthrop and the Massachusetts Bay colony, through colonial times, the antebellum South, Henry J. Kaiser's shipyards in World War II and up to the modern day.

O'Toole takes a look at the dichotomy between making money and giving it away in what Kirkus Reviews called "a light look at a heavy subject."
