He never wrote a book. Totally engaged as he was in the battle of the moment, he wrote a long series of articles, briefs, and Supreme Court decisions that took care of the crisis of the moment. Out of this original material, the present monograph reconstructs Brandeis's system of thought and places it in its historical context. Through this painstaking effort, Brandeis' thought emerges as a thorough analysis of the social, economic, and legal aspects of a contemporary industrial society-in brief, a political thought that clearly explains the complexities and interrelationships of the modern industrial state. </div> <bR> <div> <U>Table of Contents</U>                                                 </div> <bR> <div> Introduction</div> <div> Acknowledgments    </div> <bR> <div> Chapter</div> <bR> <div>      1   -  The Man  </div> <div>      2   -  From Republic Toward Democracy</div> <div>      3   -  Somism</div> <div>      4   -  From Procreation to the Next Generation</div> <div>      5   -  A Question of Equality of Opportunity</div> <bR> <div>               Part I   -      National Economic Development</div> <div>               Brandeis' Alleged Atomism</div> <div>               The Trustification Process</div> <div>               Obstacles to Regulation of Competition</div> <div>                Industrial and Financial Freedom</div> <div>                Competition</div> <bR> <div>               Part II  -  International Economic Development</div> <bR> <div>      6   -  Evolution, Revolution, or Degeneration</div> <div>      7   -  The Integral Democracy</div> <bR> <div> Epilogue: A Retrospective Evaluation</div> <bR> <div> Footnotes</div> <div> Bibliography</div> <div> Index</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>Some Evaluations</U></div> <bR> <div> Excerpts from the 1960 Italo-American Association (Rome) Commission's Report awarding Council of Europe Scholarships for 1957-58 and 1958-59:</div> <bR> <div> "The Commission composed of the president, Ambassador Tarchiani, and Professors Aldo Garosci and Giorgio Spini, has examined... the these presented by candidates for the American History prize... and have 'unanimously agreed to award the prize to Dr. Carmine GORGA of the University of Naples, whose thesis demonstrates singular maturity of judgment, a mastery of literature, a capacity of orienting himself in a difficult area of American History and, therefore, on the whole, a marked disposition for historical studies.'"</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Excerpts from a letter by Robert R. Perillo to me, September 4, 1962:</div> <bR> <div> "I recently had the pleasure of reading your excellent work on the political thought of Louis D. Brandeis for St. Martin's Press... I wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope your manuscript will soon be published."</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Excerpts from a letter by Robert R. Perillo to St. Martin's Press, August 20, 1962:</div> <bR> <div> "... (this is not a biography). The book concentrates on Brandeis' political thought with emphasis, of course, on his contributions in the economic and social fields. And it is precisely in this area that it is most effective and interesting... At this juncture of history a scholarly and dispassionate work by a European on Brandeis' life and times could have a great and significant impact on the intellectuals of [European and emerging] nations. Brandeis, it seems to me, would be a perfect vehicle for fostering a greater understanding of the United Sates and the continuing American 'revolution'... A man such as Brandeis... well in advance of his times  who believed... in building on existing institutions, improving or modifying rather than destroying them, is one who could be readily understood, admired and evaluated by the progressive elements of other nations... Therefore this would seem an important and propitious time for a reappraisal of Brandeis' work and thought both in this country and abroad."</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
