Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Herman Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener both offer important insights into the internal ideological function of American capitalism. The texts demonstrate (whether intentionally or unintentionally) how American capitalism attempts to paper over the contradiction between America's rhetorical focus on liberty, equality, and freedom, and its economic focus on profit at the expense of essentially everything else. Franklin embodies the myth of American meritocracy and reveals the appeal to divine right that underlines the legitimacy of the upper classes' economic dominance, while Melville's narrator demonstrates the strict blinders that must be maintained in order to deny the existence of the injustice and inequality that is inherent to capitalism. Taken together, these texts allow one to better understand how the seemingly obvious contradiction between America's ostensible political ideals and its economic realities has far not been able to diminish capitalism's hegemonic control of the country for over two hundred years.
