Answer 2

Answer:

B. They all believed that the industrial age was bad for America

Explanation:

The industrialization in the United States had a lot of supporters, including ordinary people, authors, politicians, as it seems that it leads the country in a good direction. There were also critics to the industrialization, such as Edward Bellamy, Henry George, and Thorstein Velben. Even though the three of them had different ideas, they all had something in common, which was seeing the industrial age as a bad thing to the United States. The reason for this was mostly that they didn't liked the development of capitalism, as they thought that it will create a very large gap between the few rich and all the rest, thus shift the power only in the hands of few people. They were much more fond of the ideas of the socialism, and they thought that the socialism will create a much more equal and fair environment for the development and well being of everyone.
