Where did the term robber barons come from and what does it mean?

This goes back to the Dark and Middle Ages in Europe when law and order were not well established. Barons were a lower grade of noblemen who did not always have land. Some of them built strongholds (castles or fortified houses) at strategic places in remote areas and kept a lookout for wealthy looking travellers or merchants. If the travellers did not have their own escort of armed guards or if the barons thought they and their men had a chance of overcoming any guards, they then attacked the travellers and robbed them. Some of these robber barons became very rich, not because they produced anything but because they stole it. The term is generally used today to describe businesses (or their managers) that use strength to force smaller businesses to give up their assets. A similar modern term is "asset stripping": buy up a company, thus acquiring the rights to good products, brand names or patents, then sell off the company, which can no longer survive on its own.
