Who is the author of the gilded age?

Answer 1

"The Gilded Age" was first coined by American author Mark Twain. He was referring to the rapid industrial revolution in the decades after the Civil War. Something that is "gilded" is made mostly of a base metal like steel or iron and then covered with a layer of gold so that it looks valuable. Even though the post-war era produced many marvels, it often took advantage of the poor and less fortunate, thus the "base metal" beneath the gold

Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner coined the term "Gilded Age" in their novel, The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, which was published in 1873. The term gilded is an adjective meaning covered with gold or with a substance that looks like gold, and the term was therefore used to satirize the ostentatious display of wealth that characterized the time period from approximately 1878 to 1889. The growth of industry and the production of steel and iron brought great fortunes for businessmen such as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, who were sometimes pejoratively referred to as robber barons, due to the public notion that such people became rich through ruthless business practices.
