Sources: Johnson 23-1, page 143: E. E. Purinton Celebrates American Business Johnson 24-3, page 174: Huey Long Proposes Redistribution of Wealth Background: Following World War 1 the 1920s were a boisterous and prosperous time and even at the time referred to as the “Age of business,” “The business of America is Business” was the common saying. By 1935 America was reeling in the depths of the Great Depression, with widespread disillusionment about the value of business. The two readings propose sharply different approaches to an economic structure for America. After a careful reading of both documents, answer the following questions: 1) What is the central argument in Purinton’s essay? Why does he think that American business is the “salvation of the world?” 2) What are the key points in Huey Long’s position? Are they practical? 3) Is America’s economic future a stark choice between the two positions, or is there room for key elements of both positions? Your paper should be 1 1/2 to 2 pages, double spaced .
