Episode Synopsis

The Gilded Age (roughly 1877–1898) was a period of rapid economic growth, industrialization, and wealth accumulation in the United States. It was named after The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873), a novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, which satirized the era’s materialism and deep social inequalities. Beneath the glittering surface of prosperity lay significant political corruption, poverty, and labor struggles. :  The Gilded Age of America: Wealth, Corruption, and Change Send us a textSupport the show
