Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reform-minded business executives such as Alexander Cassatt were not necessarily interested in radical changes to the capitalist system, but rather in implementing some government regulation to protect their own interests from more radical political elements. They saw a need for reform to prevent larger-scale disruptions to business and the economy. Choice A is not reflective of their views, as they generally did not support cooperative factories that were managed but not owned by rank-and-file factory workers. Choice C is also unlikely, as there is little evidence to suggest that they seriously questioned the capitalist system. Choice D is also unlikely, as they generally did not advocate for a more equitable distribution of wealth and capital in the United States.
