The book you referenced appears to be one which I need for a close relative who has bought into the wealth = superiority mythology. I found the book and several versions or parts in a series on Amazon and plan to order a copy. The last sentence in the review/description at Amazon was the following:

“They do not seem to realize for a moment—what is clear to every real student of economics—that the great fortunes are the natural, logical outcome of a system based upon factors the inevitable result of which is the utter despoilment of the many for the benefit of a few.”
That sort of sums it up quite nicely. We do need a "Great Disillusionment" as you state. But first, people must become aware of their illusions. That will never happen as long as kids are programmed to acquiesce and passively accept authority for their entire formative years in schools, where they are led to believe the propaganda is education and the conditioning will lead them to truth. The whole enchilada is organized, controlled, and legally mandated to buttress the authoritarian, paternalistic, and capitalistic paradigm under which we all suffer.
Mmerose,
