J. D. Rockefeller was considered both a robber baron and a captain of industry.
he invetned the steel industury -- Actually he was the "main guy" in the oil industry. Carnegie was steel. I would say he is a Robber Baron because he started a monopoly and basically told other oil companies that they would either have to sign a trust (which basically allows him to take over their business and give a small dividend to the trustee) or he would run them out of business. --
he was considered both because he was a monopoly on the oil business but still was a great philanthropist
John W Mackay was the opposite of a Robber Baron. He brought competition to the telegraph industry and reduced the price of telegraphs. He treated his workers fairly. The Robber Barons established cartels and cheated their workers. They ran sweat shops. They kept prices unnecessarily high. They destroyed competition.
