excellent interview and congratulations on this huge high-purpose work. Speaking of old illuminating books, have you seen this one? I quote it frequently.

"When, through process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and easily governed— through the influence of the strong arm of government— applied by a central power of imperial wealth under the control of leading financiers. A people without homes will not quarrel with their rulers."

A dispatch from Wall Street quoted in Chicago Daily Press dated March 21, 1892,

as reported in Imperialism In America: Its Rise and Progress, Sarah E. V. Emery, 1893, p 72.
