Theodore Roosevelt, the corporations, and American democracy
Nick Salvatore examines the growth of the corporation in the decades after the Civil War, and he also notes the many political movements and parties that emerged during Theodore Roosevelt’s political life to manage these combinations. Salvatore details Roosevelt’s response to industrial concentrations, including the reforms enacted during his second term in office like the Hepburn and Pure Food and Drug Acts. Salvatore asserts that Roosevelt wanted to enact reforms and oversee corporations to forestall revolution, hoping to prevent the rise of Socialism. He concludes his essay with a look at the campaign of 1912, highlighting the policy positions of Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Eugene V. Debs.
In addition to a photograph of Salvatore, the essay features two photographs of Roosevelt in dynamic speaking poses, as well as a photograph of Debs. A text box at the end of the article contains the vision statement of the Theodore Roosevelt Association.
Book notes
In the “Book Notes” column, Frederick W. Marks reviews William M. Gibson’s Theodore Roosevelt Among the Humorists and John A. Gable reviews Aloysius A. Norton’s Theodore Roosevelt. Marks criticizes Gibson for accepting the judgments of Theodore Roosevelt put forward by humorists such as Mark Twain, and he argues that Gibson, as a literature professor, is not qualified to make evaluations of Roosevelt’s diplomacy. Gable praises Norton’s study of Roosevelt as a writer, and his main criticism is that the book is too short to provide a thorough analysis of all of Roosevelt’s works. Marks and Gable contend that Roosevelt’s image continues to suffer from persistent stereotypes.
A picture of Roosevelt reading accompanies the article.
