Why the American Worker is Not Red
Secretary of Labor Davis argues in the National Republic that savings bank data show American workers are accumulating capital. He notes deposits rising from 4.4 billion in 1913 to 20.874 billion in 1924 with depositors increasing from 2.584 million to 18.868 million, more than a third of the U.S. population. He says this belies calls to abolish capital and supports pro capital views.
