| Summary | "Confiscation; An Outline" by William Greenwood is a radical economic treatise written in the late 19th century. The work critiques the existing socio-economic inequalities in the United States, arguing for the redistribution of wealth through an enforced cap on individual fortunes, asserting that excessive wealth undermines the foundation of a true republic. The central theme revolves around the idea of confiscation of assets exceeding a set limit, with the intent of returning resources to the wider populace to alleviate poverty and economic disparities. The opening of the book presents a scathing indictment of the prevailing capitalist system, suggesting that the nation's economic model closely resembles that of a monarchy, where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few at the expense of the many. Greenwood posits that legislative inaction and the continued dominance of individual greed have led to a situation where, despite abundance, many citizens face starvation. He argues that the solution lies in confiscating excess wealth and redistributing resources, thus restoring the power of the people and ensuring that the republic serves all its citizens.
