And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that.
Was the word "gangster" current in Acton's lifetime?
I wondered that myself. The word dates back to 1896 - as American slang. Acton was alive in 1896. Maybe the slang word appealed to him.
