In this article the author critically examines the book "Dividends and Democracy," by Lewis D. Gilbert. Those who take seriously assertions of free-enterprise advertising may be surprised that officials of American corporations did not welcome Gilbert's earnest endeavor to perform his duties as a responsible property owner. On occasion, in fact, they not only spurned his constructive proposals but threatened bodily injury. The really significant fact may be that a tenfold increase in the number of shareholders, as Gilbert anticipates, would re-enforce corporations' political power.
