The " Gilded age" is coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner as a pun on the "Golden age" in which actually was a post civil war era where there was a rapid economic as well as population growth in the U.S..The name refers to the process of Gildingan object with a superficial layer of gold and is meant to make fun of ostentatious display while playing on the term "Golden_age."
The term "robber baron" from the 19th century, is in reference to any businessman and banker with questionable business practices to become powerful/wealthy...ie. a "Capitalist".
