You did not include any particular reference so we do not know the documents you include as reference.
However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.
It is correct to say that the "Gilded Age" usually refers to business and worker interests in the period after Reconstruction to about 1900.
The aspect of the farmers’ experiences during this time that is similar is that they suffer many problems and tribulations during the Gilded Age, as was the case of the workers that labored in the big industries in the larger cities such as New York, Chicago, or Pittsburgh.
The American farmers were living in deep debt during the Gilded Age. They knew they had the risk of losing their properties and farms due to that debt. It was a time when the prices of the crops were down, making things worse. Another issue was the price railroads charged to transport their crops. It was too expensive for farmers.
During this Gilded Age, corruption actions in the government allowed the creation of monopolies as was the case of the Standard Oil Company owned by John D. Rockefeller or the US Steel Company owned by Andrew Carnegie.
You could say the world was a bit surprised if not in shock due to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signing the German-Soviet Nonaggression pact.
Answer:
Technology made the production of goods and services easier, and this increased the amount of wealth in the economy, which raised the standards of living of everyone in Europe, including ordinary people.
Explanation:
For example, vapor machines led to the invention of trains, which could ship goods and transport people from point A to point B at a much faster pace. This made goods that were not produced in the immediate surroundings of the average person a lot cheaper, allowing them access to them with their low incomes.
They had extensive exports that other nations depended on.
In the sixteenth century, the economy of the Ming dynasty was stimulated by maritime transport with Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch. China, then, became involved in a new world of goods, plants, animals and crops fed as the Colombian exchange. Major European and Japanese companies bought large quantities of silver, which then replaced copper and paper notes as a major trading currency in China.
All of the above. I think. I could be wrong but that is what I remember. Thanks
