Interesting read

Although at times highly anti-Catholic, "Profits" offers an intriguing look at the problems with organized religion - problems that persist today.

Much to my surprise

The book well written and formatted. Subjects covered were many without prejudice to anyone of them. I found myself being offended but kept reading and was able to see from his point of view.
The only thing that I found lacking was in generalized grouping statements about peoples or businesses
Read the book!!! Please

A must read to gain an understanding of the roots of the American Progressive movement.
