The era of gold plating was the age of American society at the end of the 19th century (about 1870-1900). The golden era is characterized by rapid economic growth and remarkable foreign wealth, covering problems such as poverty, inequality, social injustice. The term "golden age" was created by Mark Twain at "Golden Age: Today's Story" (1873) which is a satire to materialism and political corruption. Collis Potter Huntington (1821-1900) Huntingdon plays an important role in the construction of Pacific Railroad - Central Pacific Railroad is the first transcontinental railroad, and it is also the other railroad such as the South Pacific. Part of the reason for his commercial success was his extensive political lobbying and bribes of politicians. When his bribery was exposed he became a symbol of greed and corruption in the railway industry. Despite defending the construction of the railroad, he became a satirical and dislike person.

One of the main events in the gold plating era was railroad construction. Artifacts without a new industrial culture at that time were as powerful as locomotives. Meanwhile, the country 's 13 main lines increased the cargo load of 1 ton mile from 600 billion dollars to 14.48 billion, 600%. Over the next few years, the mileage of the truck has doubled from 35,000 miles to 350,000 miles, of which approximately 18,000 locomotives are in use.

The term "Golden Age" refers to the period after the reconstruction of the late 1800s. This sentence begins with Mark Twain. Since gold plating means "it is covered with a thin layer of gold", it seems that the age of gold plating seems to be the age of prosperity for the United States, but it is thin prosperity that can cover the era of poverty and corruption It is only a layer. Many labels have been used to describe the period, but when describing the period "gold plating era" is the most accurate. The biggest economic problem in the gold-plated era is to determine the role of the federal government in US operations. In the late 1800s, companies operated without government regulation. This careless economic problem is called "laissez-faireism" and we believe that the government should play a very limited role in business. This was the main economic theory in the late 1800s, but it got the opposite immediately.
