Robert W. Bruère (1876-1964) was a political adviser and investigative journalist specialising in Union and labour federation competition in the United States. At one time, he had flirted with Marxism but his maturer thinking was focused on liberating society from the maleficent effects of monopolies, cartels, special interest groups and government cronyism. This led disaffected Republican Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt to hire Bruère as an adviser to his short-lived ‘Progressive Party’ (nicknamed the Bull Moose party) in the US election of 1912, which came closer to winning power than any other third party in US political history. Robert’s brother Henry was an adviser to Franklin D. Roosevelt; his sister Mina was a feminist and a banking executive.
