Ida Tarbell viewed John D. Rockefeller as a ruthless and manipulative businessman whose practices in the oil industry exemplified monopolistic behavior. She criticized him for his lack of ethics and the detrimental impact of his Standard Oil Company on smaller competitors and consumers. Through her investigative journalism, particularly in her seminal work "The History of the Standard Oil Company," Tarbell aimed to expose the corrupt practices that enabled Rockefeller to amass his wealth and power. Ultimately, she saw him as a symbol of corporate greed and the need for regulatory reform.
