Gilded age was really the peak of self selected efficiency of America.
Unfettered capitalism ran by robber barons of then, not on the humanitarian IV drip/threat of government intervention would just set up a Kafala-esque system today.
Just imagine if the world wasn't filled with non-sapiens and "family based" immigration was never thought up in the mind of the first jew who stepped in America.

America after the War for Southern Independence is when the Hamiltonians were able to enact their neo-mercantilist American School of Economics virtually unchallenged. Barring the election of President Cleveland, the one time laissez-fairs liberals came close to reaching the White House was with Samuel J. Tilden, but the Compromise of 1877 laid those hopes to rest.

I'm only talking about the era itself as good, there are many differences between then and now… More like the biggest threats then weren't the same as now wrt "unregulated capitalism" even if you grant they weren't "monopolies of efficiency".
More a commentary on how raped reality is now that we live in government enforced egalitarianismword.

Fair enough, but even then Britain at the time far better representative of the "unfettered capitalism" that is said to be characteristic of Gilded Age America. When America was crafting a leviathan at home in anticipation of the empire-crafting that was to follow in the Progressive Era, Britain was actually led by fairly consistent laissez-faire liberals like Gladstone and Victorian values were understood to be the values of a highly moralizing yet entrepreneurial petit bourgeoisie.
