Question

which problems arose as a result of capitalism with little government oversight? check all that apply. an even distribution of wealth led to little competition. businesses eventually exploited the working class. workers who were injured on the job were not protected. there were vast inequalities between workers and owners. worker’s unions dissolved because employee treatment improved. big companies drove small companies out of business.

Explanation:

• Unregulated capitalism allows businesses to prioritize profits over worker well-being, leading to exploitation of the working class.
• Without government oversight, there are no mandatory protections for injured workers.
• Wealth accumulates at the top, creating large gaps between workers and business owners.
• Large corporations can use unfair advantages (like lower costs, monopolistic power) to force small businesses out of operation.
• The first option is incorrect because unregulated capitalism leads to unequal wealth distribution, not even, which increases competition for small entities. The fifth option is incorrect because poor worker treatment led to the rise of unions, not their dissolution.

Answer:

• Businesses eventually exploited the working class.
• Workers who were injured on the job were not protected.
• There were vast inequalities between workers and owners.
• Big companies drove small companies out of business.
