In 1990, Breese published Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave (ISBN 0-8024-8449-2). The seven men he highlighted are:

• Charles Darwin, who systematized and advanced the principle that evolution was behind the origin of the species.
• Karl Marx, who developed and advocated the notion of modern Communism.
• Julius Wellhausen, who initiated "higher criticism" and "modernism."
• John Dewey, who argued for an educational system focused on problem solving and the growth of the child in all aspects of his being.
• Sigmund Freud, who promoted the view that the sexual instinct is the driving force behind all human action.
• John Maynard Keynes, who advocated the policies for reducing unemployment and expanding the economy that today find their expression in deficit spending and governmental activism.
• Søren Kierkegaard, who stressed the obligation each person has to make conscious, responsible choices among alternatives, a major tenet of existentialism.
