American history has been filled with the struggles of our people to attain a more decent standard of living for all. Originally we were an agrarian peopleJefferson thought we would probably continue in this state of development for several hundred years. But the influx of millions upon millions of immigrants from all over the world. the concentration of population in great cities. the conquering of the frontier. and especially the tremendous technological advances that came with mechanical inventions have made us now primarily ai. industrial nation. As we went through this industrialization process we found more and greater economic problems on our hands than Jefferson would ever have dreamed of. Problems of concentration. not only of population but of wealth. problems of rapid depletion of our seemingly inexhaustible resources. and. inevitably. problems of great disparity of income.
