This US History lesson plan on the 2nd Industrial Revolution compares the economic systems of capitalism, socialism, and communism, and addresses their relevance to business owners and workers during the 2nd Industrial Revolution (“Gilded Age”). I use it to establish a solid understanding of the differences between these economic systems in theory and in practice, both now and during the Gilded Age.
