    • Abstract:
      The article discusses political and economic issues in the U.S., particularly on how to truly achieve democracy and equal distribution of wealth and end the Gilded Age. Also cited are how the Gilded Age started in the U.S. in 1877, the effect of the Compromise of 1877 on the government's ability to reign in the forces that took over markets and political systems, and how the women's labor movement in the 1910s started major labor and social reforms.
