Highly concentrated wealth and drastic income inequality? Check. Grossly ostentatious displays of wealth, status, and power by aristocratic elites? Check. Widespread corruption? Check. Deregulated markets? Check. Lack of protections for workers? Check. A culture of greed and cutthroat competition? Check.<br /><br />Anti-Immigrant sentiment? Check. Xenophobia? Check. Nationalism and Jingoism? Check. Racial tensions? Check. Police brutality? Check. Voter suppression? Check. Jerrymandering? Check. Intensely partisan politics? Check. Vote buying and political machines? Check. Populist leaders rocked by scandal? Check. Sensationalism trumping rationality and truth? Check.<br /><br />Welcome to Gilded Age Next, redesigned from the ground up to be better than the last Gilded Age in almost every way!

And with our patented Bread And Circuses 2.0 media configuration, people are more distracted and divided than ever before, making them even easier to manipulate and exploit!<br /><br />Gilded Age Next!
