Download The Tycoons: How Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan Invented the American Supereconomy AudioBook Free
The modern American economy was the creation of four men: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan. They were the giants of the Gilded Age, a moment of riotous progress that set up America as the richest, most inventive, & most productive country on the planet. Acclaimed publisher Charles R. Morris vividly brings these men and their times alive. The ruthlessly competitive Carnegie, the imperial Rockefeller, and the provocateur Gould were enthusiastic about progress, experiment, and speed. They were balanced by Morgan, the gentleman entrepreneur, who fought, instead, for a global trust in American business. Through their antagonism and verve, they built an industrial behemoth - and a country of middle-class consumers. The Tycoons explains to the incredible storyline of how these four decided men wrenched the economy into the modern day, inventing a nation of full financial participation that could not have been dreamed just a few decades earlier.
