Was J. D. Rockerfeller a robber baron or 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. --

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.
