In The Have difficulties for America's Offer, Claire Goldstene looks for to untangle one of the long lasting ideals in American record, that of financial opportunity. She explores the varied discourses about its meaning through the upheavals and commercial consolidations of the Gilded Years. Some proponents of similar opportunity seek to market upward financial range of motion by permitting more folks to participate in the financial sphere thereby satisfying merit over inherited wealth. Others use opportunity as a mechanism to maintain financial inequality. This anxiety, embedded with the thought of similar opportunity itself and constantly reaffirmed by immigrant populations, animated communal dissent among metropolitan workers while together serving efforts by business elites to counter such dissent. Goldstene uses a biographical approach to give attention to key characters along a spectral range of political perception as they battled to reconcile the natural contradictions of similar opportunity. The Have difficulties for America's Offer includes such characters as Booker T. Washington, Samuel Gompers, Edward Bellamy, and Emma Goldman, who had been more happy to step beyond the limitations of the discourse about opportunity and question financial competition itself. The book is released by the College or university Press of Mississippi.
