Hello, I am doing some research concerning social freedom and capitalism seeking to prove they are incompatible with one another. Does anybody know some good online resources on the matter?

Thanks

I don't really think it takes any external resources to prove that, just logic. A young girl born into a poor family (something that was completely out of her control) has much less freedom than the little boy growing up in the Hills.
It's not that she is being refused her freedom by the law, but by her economic standing. She doesn't have the money to afford to do the things that she wants. Whereas the boy has the money... therefore more freedom.

Of course logic is all that ought to be required, but sadly some people disagree. That is why I need proper sources to demonstrate this point.

I guess research US Social Life, prices, wages, and such during the late 1800's and early 1900's or even presently

why would he research US social life? He's in Scotland and the US is not the only capitalist country.
