This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if the small coin left on a table revealed something much larger about power, pride, and democracy?

In *The Itching Palm: A Study of the Habit of Tipping in America*, William R. Scott delivers a fierce and provocative attack on the custom of tipping. First published in 1916, this social criticism examines gratuities not as harmless generosity, but as a system of dependence, inequality, humiliation, and moral compromise.

Scott writes from an American democratic ideal: a citizen should be paid fairly for honest service, not forced to depend on the uncertain favor of another person’s mood. From hotels and restaurants to railroads, porters, servants, public employees, travelers, employers, and customers, he follows tipping through everyday life and argues that it changes the relation between people into something servile and undignified.

The book’s fascination lies in how modern it still feels. More than a century later, arguments about tipping, service wages, restaurant culture, customer pressure, and economic fairness remain alive. Scott’s language belongs to his era, but his central question remains sharply contemporary: should dignity depend on gratuity?

This AI-narrated audiobook offers a clear, polished, and accessible listening experience, allowing Scott’s argument, historical examples, social anger, and moral urgency to unfold with precision.

Listen to a forgotten American critique that turns an ordinary custom into a debate about labor, class, freedom, and self-respect. Begin *The Itching Palm* today.
