| 520 | _a"Better Days: or, A Millionaire of To-morrow" by Thomas Fitch and Anna M. Fitch is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around themes of wealth, social responsibility, and economic justice, presenting characters such as Professor John Thornton, a wealthy individual grappling with the ethics of wealth, and David Morning, an engineer with newfound fortune and ambitions. Through their conversations and experiences, the novel delves into the societal impacts of wealth accumulation and challenges conventional views about millionaires and their responsibilities. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to a bustling scene in Chicago during the World’s Exposition, where the excitement centers on a locomotive race. Through the eyes of Professor Thornton and Dr. Eustace, the characters discuss the nature of American society and its relationship with wealth, raising caution about the potential for societal decay due to the overwhelming power of millionaires. As the plot unfolds, we learn about David Morning, a skilled mining engineer whose life takes a turn when he discovers a rich gold lode, prompting him to ponder the consequences of his newfound wealth not just on himself but on society at large.
