"A jury of inquest was impaneled, and after due deliberation and inquiry they returned the inevitable American verdict which has been so familiar to our ears all the days of our lives-'NOBODY TO BLAME." -The Gilded Age, (1873)


The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873), is a two-volume satirical novel written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner describing late 19th-century Washington D.C. and its cast of characters of corrupt politicians and greedy "robber barons." This period of political corruption and ostentatious materialism became known as the Gilded Age, named after this book.


The Gilded Age, offering insight in the problems of growing wealth inequality, resembling those of early 21st century, is a true classic with lessons for modern times.
