<em>The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today</em> was jointly published by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in 1873. It was meant to be a satirical novel, which criticized the society at the time, which was quickly becoming <u>greedy</u>: industrialization brough a big economic expansion but meanwhile there were political scandals, corruption, fights for power and social convulsions.

In fact, the title of this novel ended up giving the name to era comprised between the 1870s and 1900: the Gilded Age.
