How American culture given Jack London Iron Heel?

I have a desktop system that tells AP English: Read The heel iron with care. Then, write an essay that examines how London crafts the text to show his vision of U.S. culture. I am a bit stuck. Can anyone help?

Considered decadent America, a point made in the table is a good summary of what he thought of London - I think it's about beginning of the book. By Jack London (1876-1916) socialist policy is expressed in the exhibition here. His description of the capitalist class, the formation of an organized, totalitarian, violent oligarchy to crush the working class prevented in some detail the fascist dictatorships in Europe. Good luck: 0)
