Synopsis
Excerpt from John D. Rockefeller: And His Career
To many minds the achievements of John D. Rocke feller seem uncanny and full of mystery. The writer has taken particular pains to unravel the mystery and explain the uncanny. The acquisition of wealth to many is the great end of life. To such, John D. Rockefeller must forever be a marvel. But to those who believe that there are greater and better and nobler things in life than money-making, Rockefeller's career is a subject, not for admiration, but for criticism.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of the rise of John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Trust. The author meticulously traces Rockefellerââ â¢s journey from a humble farmerââ â¢s son to a powerful industrialist, highlighting the cunning strategies and sometimes unethical tactics he employed to gain dominance in the burgeoning oil industry. The book dives into the complex world of 19th-century American commerce, examining the role of railroads, the rise of monopolies, and the fight for control over natural resources. The author critiques Rockefellerââ â¢s methods, challenging the reader to consider whether achieving wealth at any cost is truly justifiable. The book also explores the broader implications of Rockefellerââ â¢s success on American society, arguing that his methods undermined democratic values and led to a system where a select few controlled essential industries. This compelling narrative offers insights into the history of American business, the power of ambition, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when individual success comes at the expense of others.
