The essay notes risks of usury, suggests printing new currency, and cites President Roosevelt era plans alongside reflections on Wall Street staggers and social wealth. It also comments on Mary Pickford and women’s selfishness, and references a German vote and aging figures in a sweeping diary-like column.
