Leo Huberman's We, The People answers that question with remarkable clarity and passion, chronicling the economic and social history of the United States from its earliest colonial roots through the turbulent modern era. Written for the everyday reader rather than the academic scholar, the work presents the grand sweep of American history through the lens of ordinary citizens — the farmers, workers, and labourers whose struggles shaped a nation — with vivid illustrations by the celebrated American artist Thomas H. Benton lending the narrative a bold, populist energy.\n\nHuberman argues with conviction that the story of America is inseparable from the story of its economic forces, illustrating how wealth, power, and class conflict have driven the nation's development at every turn. His prose is disarmingly accessible yet intellectually rigorous, cutting through myth and sentiment to uncover the raw mechanics beneath the democratic ideal. First published in the United States and issued in this London edition by Victor Gollancz in 1940, the book remains a landmark of popular historical writing — one that leaves the reader questioning just how much of the American promise has ever truly been fulfilled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203283427547,"sku":"2026100009806-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/550e3cbf-d48d-4409-b042-87f9f60f3e27.png?v=1788147521","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009806-secondhand-we-the-people","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
