Which is the BEST description of the impact of capitalism and industrialization on the American public during the Gilded Age? A) During the Gilded Age, the South was still reeling from reconstruction and lacked economic stability and infrastructure. B) With new conveniences, reasonably priced consumer goods, and relatively steady pay, Americans were better off than most of the world. C) Because of the rise of monopolies during the Gilded Age, the American economy underwent periods of recession and depression that did not end until 1918. D) In the post-Civil War period, corporations became larger and more powerful through mergers and monopolies and had a greater influence on American politics.
The theory of laissez-faire economics, popular during the late 1800s, advocated for minimal government intervention in the economy. Proponents believed that free markets would naturally regulate themselves through supply and demand, leading to economic growth and efficiency. This hands-off approach justified the rapid industrialization and expansion of businesses during the Gilded Age, often at the expense of workers' rights and social welfare. Critics argued that it contributed to economic inequality and monopolistic practices.
During the Gilded Age, laissez-faire immigration policies facilitated a massive influx of immigrants seeking economic opportunities, which fueled rapid urbanization as cities expanded to accommodate the growing population. This urban growth contributed to the rise of a distinct middle class, as new job opportunities in industries and services emerged. The combination of these factors led to significant social and economic transformations, with stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, ultimately shaping the landscape of American society during this period.
