Federal Power: Its Growth And Necessity (1918)

Federal Power: Its Growth And Necessity is a book written by Henry Litchfield West and published in 1918. The book explores the growth and necessity of federal power in the United States, particularly in the areas of finance, commerce, and industry. West argues that the federal government has a crucial role to play in regulating and overseeing these areas, and that without federal intervention, the country would be unable to achieve its economic potential. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of federal power. Part one provides an overview of the history of federal power in the United States, from the founding of the country to the early 20th century. Part two looks at the role of federal power in regulating finance, including the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. Part three examines federal power in the area of commerce, including the regulation of monopolies and the creation of the Federal Trade Commission. Finally, part four considers federal power in the realm of industry, including the regulation of labor and the establishment of the Department of Labor.Throughout the book, West argues that federal power is essential to the success of the United States as a nation. He contends that the federal government must play an active role in regulating and overseeing the economy in order to ensure that it functions efficiently and fairly. He also argues that federal power is necessary to protect the interests of workers and consumers, and to prevent the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals or corporations.Overall, Federal Power: Its Growth And Necessity is a thoughtful and well-researched exploration of the role of federal power in the United States. It provides valuable insights into the history and development of federal power, and makes a compelling case for the continued importance of federal intervention in the economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
