People accused them of using unfair business practices.
Robber Barons. Or Captains of Industry. I'm not sure which one.
Business leaders earned the nickname "robber barons" during the late 19th century due to their ruthless and unethical business practices, which often involved exploiting workers, monopolizing industries, and engaging in corrupt political dealings to amass vast fortunes. They were perceived as prioritizing personal wealth over societal welfare, leading to significant economic inequality. This term reflected public disdain for their perceived greed and manipulation of the capitalist system, as they often used their wealth to influence legislation in their favor.
