The time period from the latter parts of the 19th century and into the first couple decades of the 20th century there was a reform movement. This movement was centered on addressing different political‚ economic‚ and cultural questions that were brought forth by the rapid ascent in changes that were the product of the Industrial Revolution.

The three main ones are The New Deal‚ The Great Society and The Affordable Healthcare Act. While the intent of these initiatives were to aid those‚ their effects in reality are just the opposite
