(The rich were getting richer, the poor were getting poorer, small farmers were being squeezed out, workingmen were working twelve hours a day for a bare living; profits were for the rich, the law was for the rich, the cops were for the rich;)
作者John Dos Passos (0 评论)
John Dos Passos的作品强调了20世纪初期社会日益增长的经济差异。富裕与贫困者之间的差距扩大了，使小农民挣扎着要生存，而劳动者长时间工作的工资很少。这种情况强调了财富和权力是如何集中在富人中的，创造了他们的利益占主导地位的社会和经济结构的景观。
