Describe the "Gospel of Wealth" and "Social Darwinism" and discuss why they were popular theories to explain poverty and wealth during the time period we are studying. How did they reinforce class structure and power? Are these theories still being used to explain poverty and wealth today? If so, how and if not, what is used to explain poverty and wealth in America today? Has class structure and power changed due to the shifts in poverty and wealth today? Is there any danger in our current poverty/wealth situation today?
