Book Synopsis
Contemporaries of Wright (1840-1909) lived through the transformation of American society by the industrial revolution. For the most part they thought the transformation represented growth and progress, but many found occasion for doubt and fear in its consequences. Their anxieties collected around notions of a labor problem and labor reform.
