The Uncle Tom's Cabin of the guided age, which shows the brutality of the system of laissez faire capitalism. This book is becoming more relevant by the day as some people in the US government seek to remove most pro-worker regulations, taking the US backwards to an era of history that should never be repeated.

It was wordy and hard to follow. However, it spoke about issues facing Americans during the 1900s. It highlighted unfair working conditions and living conditions. This is also the perfect example of Murphy's Law.
