Why did some American big businesses threaten the free enterprise?
So that they would not be threatened and make more money themselves Before there were government organizations such as the SEC, (securities and exchange commission ), the Federal Reserve Bank of NY, and anti trust laws regarding various business regulations, some large US Industries came close to monopolizing various areas of the economy. One example of this were the business activities of John D. Rockefeller. Not to single this man out or discredit him in any way, I use him of an example of what I believe the question infers. Here then is an example of how a large company, created within the free enterprise system, came close to help undermine the very system that allowed Rockefeller to prosper which are as follows: A. Rockefeller's main company was the Standard Oil Company; B. Along with partners, Rockefeller, bought more oil refineries and the railroads connecting them together and to marketing regions; C. In 1872, Standard Oil bought 20 other oil related companies; D. Based on his aggressive business tactics, which at the time were legal, Rockefeller created a Standard Oil Trust, which housed the majority of the oil businesses in America; and E. Base on the 1890 Sherman Anti trust Act, a Federal Court ordered that the Rockefeller Trust needed to divest itself of companies that effectively monopolized the oil industry in America.
Is Andrew carnegie a robber baron or captain of the industry?
He is both depending how you look at it. He is a robber baron in the sense that he made a lot of money, created a monopoly, bought all the steel companies, and bought all the iron companies and paid his workers very little. But on the other hand he is a captain of the industry because he thought of something so revolutionary and something that changed the world and how things work forever and was a great innovator. He also gave back a lot by making Carnegie Hall in NYC and making many colleges, one being in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. That is ironic since it's the steel city.

Was john D. Rockefeller a robber baron?
J. D. Rockefeller was considered both a robber baron and a captain of industry.No he wasn't, he was simply a man that knew how to invest and make sure that his companies were prosperous. He was a philantropist who gave back to many organizations and colleges. Rockefeller gave 10% of every paycheck to Baptist churches.(to above answer) YES he was a robber baron since not only did he invest well, his original wealth was made on exploited workers and use of "persuading" the government to help his wealth grow(Robin Hood Robber Baron)No he wasn't, he was intelligent and knew how to invest so his companies were prosperous, like the above comment. However, he did not use hthis all for his own benefit, which is what a robber baron would do. On the other hand, Rockefeller was a big philanthropist and founded organizations such as the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Just because you know how to make money doesn't automatically make you a robber baron--it's what you do with the money that determines it.
