Thomas DiLorenzo’s How Capitalism Enriched the Working Class

Thomas DiLorenzo’s How Capitalism Enriched the Working Class

Thomas DiLorenzo’s How Capitalism Enriched the Working Class and Melvyn Dubofsky’s Industrialism and the American Worker offer different perspectives on industrial society and the American worker. By examining Southern convict labor policies, Douglas Blackmon’s Slavery by Another Name challenges the assumption that slavery ended with the Civil War.

For this assignment, you must carefully evaluate each author’s argument. Include the authors’ names and titles of their works in your introduction, along with a clearly stated and fully developed thesis: one that explicitly states which author(s) you find most convincing. Conclude your paper with your own assessment regarding the impact of industrialization on the American worker.

All papers must be typed, double-spaced throughout, five (5) pages in length, and each numbered with standard one-inch margins and size 12 font. Adhere to the page limit. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation matter.
