DOLLARS WANT ME! & THE CALL OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY (Annotated)

Dollars Want Me! & The Call of the Twentieth Century brings together two concise, forceful statements of early New Thought optimism. In aphoristic, sermonic prose, the book argues that poverty is not merely an economic condition but a mistaken mental relation to abundance, urging readers to cultivate confidence, receptivity, and purposeful action. Its style is direct, rhythmic, and exhortatory, placing it within the American metaphysical self-help tradition that linked Emersonian self-reliance, mind-cure, and modern prosperity thought. Henry Harrison Brown (1840–1918) was a prominent New Thought lecturer, publisher, and editor of the periodical Now, based in San Francisco. His career unfolded amid post-Civil War reform movements, spiritual experimentation, and the rise of popular psychology. Brown's writings reflect both his reformist temperament and his conviction that consciousness shapes circumstance; his message of financial freedom was inseparable from a larger belief in individual moral and spiritual awakening. This volume is recommended for readers interested in the origins of prosperity literature, American religious innovation, and the genealogy of modern self-help. Though its assumptions invite historical scrutiny, its energy, clarity, and cultural significance remain unmistakable.
