Progressive Inequality: Rich and Poor in New York, 1890–1920
David Huyssen
The Progressive Era has been seen as a seismic event that reduced the gulf between America’s rich and poor. Progressive Inequality cuts against the grain of this view, showing how initiatives in charity, organized labor, and housing reform backfired, reinforcing class biases, especially the notion that wealth derives from individual merit.
