T-9

For many years, historians thought >>

that the development of capitalism had not >>

faced serious challenges in the United >>

Line               States. Writing in the early twentieth cen->>

(5)                 tury, Progressive historians sympathized >>

with the battles waged by farmers and

small producers against large capitalists

in the late nineteenth century, but they did

not question the widespread acceptance

(10)               of laissez-faire (unregulated) capitalism

throughout American history. Similarly,

Louis Hartz, who sometimes disagreed

with the Progressives, argued that Amer-

icans accepted laissez-faire capitalism

(15)               without challenge because they lacked

a feudal, precaptialist past. Recently,

however, some scholars have argued

that even though laissez-faire became

the prevailing ethos in nineteen-century

(20)               America, it was not accepted without

struggle. Laissez-faire capitalism ,they

suggest, clashed with existing religious

and communitarian norms that imposed

moral constraints on acquisitiveness to

(25)               protect the weak from the predatory, the

strong from corruption, and the entire cul-

ture from materialist excess. Buttressed

by mercantilist notions that government

should be both regulator and promoter

(30)               of economic activity, these norms per-

sisted long after the American Revolution

helped unleash the economic forces that

produced capitalism. These scholars

argue that even in the late nineteenth

(35)               century, with the government’s role in

the economy considerably diminished,

laissez-faire had not triumphed com-

pletely. Hard times continued to revive

popular demands for regulating busi-

(40)               ness and softening the harsh edges of

laissez-faire capitalism.

请问为什么不能是B呢?
synthesize two competing arguments 和 summarize a scholarly refutation of an argument
综合两种意见和总结一个争论不是差不多吗?
还望指教...呵呵
