Political Cartoon Analysis of Capitalism


This big man in the middle, he has a tag that says "Capitalism." The small thin man, who is grabbed by the big man, has a tag that says "labor." From him, some moneys are falling to the bag that says "Profits from Child Labor." I think this cartoon is talking about how capitalism made the labors work so hard that made them very thin, and small. They have very small amount of money to live, eat, and maybe nourishing their child/children. But the big man, which I think it's manager, is making the labors work so hard, and taking their small amount of money. And I think this author wanted to tell that workers worked very hard during this period, even though, management gave just a small amount of money. Also how capitalism worked, because you need to work, to get money. From the words under the cartoon, made me feel this way. I think author could use bigger letter, because the letter in this cartoon are hard to read, and some people may not understand this wonderful cartoon, if it wasn't readable.
