Rare pamphlet written on Ellis Island as Goldman and Berkman were being deported for "subversion." "For nearly 30 years, Emma Goldman had taunted conservative Americans with her outspoken attacks on government, big business and war. Her name became a household word, synonymous with everything subversive and demonic, but also symbolic of the 'new woman' and of the radical labor movement that blossomed in the years before WWI. To the public she was America's arch revolutionary, both frightening and fascinating. She flaunted her lovers, talked back to the police, smoked in public and marched off to prison carrying James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist under her arm" (Wexler, Emma Goldman in Exile).

SIGNED by both authors. "The American Dream is under attack today, but the threat is not economic inequality. It is the war on political equality." An unread signed copy of Watkins and Brook's "moral case for finance" with no other markings or writings of any kind. "Those who recognize the irreplaceable value of finance must change the terms of the debate," writes Brook. "The question should not be whether financiers are 'greedy' or selfish or motivated by money. The question should be: Do they profit through creating values that enhance human well-being — or are they parasites who line their pockets through short-range gambling and predatory exploitation?" Brook and Watkins demonstrate convincingly that if we ask that question and answer it honestly, the moral case for finance is indisputable. Book #Pv5b152. $55.
