Major Publication
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.
