John D. Rockefeller

The captains of idustry were millionaire who controlled a monopolized all industry in the country.

Ida Tarbell's writings exposed the unethical business practices of John D. Rockefeller and his company, Standard Oil, which led to increased public scrutiny and a government investigation. This ultimately contributed to the breakup of Standard Oil's monopoly under antitrust legislation.

John D. Rockefeller focused on horizontal integration for business consolidation, primarily through the creation of the Standard Oil Trust, which aimed to control the oil industry by acquiring and merging with competitors. In contrast, Andrew Carnegie employed vertical integration, aiming to control every aspect of steel production, from raw materials to distribution. While Rockefeller's strategy centered on eliminating competition to establish monopolies, Carnegie's approach involved optimizing production processes and supply chains to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Both strategies were effective, but they represented fundamentally different philosophies of business growth.

Jon D Rockfeller was called a robber barron because he broke small countries turning them into 3rd world countries by piling too much debt onto them by trickery, in turn buying up their country cheaply and implementing poverty for their people.

John D. Rockefeller never really invented anything. He was actually the leader of the oil industry for a long time. He started his own company called "Standard Oil" which later broke off into Exxon Mobil and Chevron. He became one of the most richest men in America from buying out the whole oil industry and his competitors, and then raising his prices so that people would have to buy it from him.

That's a long story. The short answer is he slowly bought out oil refineries across the nation and consolidated them into a large conglomerate called Standard Oil... Which at it's height controlled the entire market, creating a Monopoly. A result of his actions made him one of the most wealthy entrepreneurs who ever lived.

John D. Rockefeller Sr., who was the founder of Standard Oil and is often regarded as the wealthiest American in history, had an estimated net worth of about $400 billion in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation. This figure reflects the massive wealth he accumulated during his lifetime in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His financial acumen and the monopolistic practices of Standard Oil played a significant role in shaping the American economy. However, exact comparisons are challenging due to changes in economic conditions and wealth distribution over time.
