?A Drunkard in the Gutter Is Just Where He Ought To Be?

In making his case for laissez-faire, Sumner highlighted one of the enduring paradoxes of American politics. ?It is commonly asserted that there are in the United States no classes, and any allusion to classes is resented,? he noted. ?On the other hand, we constantly read and hear discussion of social topics in which the existence of social classes is assumed as a simple fact.? This was particularly true of the 1870s, which witnessed a serious financial panic and depression, followed by a major national railroad strike. In response, reformers began to argue for government to take a greater role in aiding the poor and in softening the rough edges of industrial capitalism.
