The american author that I choose to do was John Steinbeck who was born February 27,1902 and died on December 20 ,1968 from Congestive heart failure. He attended Stanford university between 1920 and 1926 but got no degree .He was a manual laborer before one of his books attained closure. Steinbeck made, "cup of gold", "the pastures of heaven" and "To a god unknown" until he made " Tortilla Flat" his first book to achieve popularity . The grapes of wrath alone won a Pulitzer prize and a Nobel prize in 1962. He had to type his books on a type writer sometimes because sometimes they couldn't understand or read his writing

Why I speak of social-economic issues you say but if you have truly read some of john stein becks books you would know that most of his books talk about social-economic problems for example 2 of his most well-known books grapes of wrath and mice and men both talk about the great depression and how it affected migrant workers. which is something that I feel like that represents john Steinbeck because his childhood he lived through the great depression when he was young so it affected him in some way which is why he mentions it in most of his book. and in some of his books, he also talks about the dust bowl too, for example, the grapes of wrath also talks about their travels from the dust bowl to California
