The History of the Standard Oil Company, Vol. I (in Two Volumes) Reviews
-
Just finished this as a Librivox audioboook. If you're interested at all in the history of the Rockefellers, Flaglers, or Vanderbilts this is an interesting read. The writing style is very approachable even though the book was written decades ago.
-
Fascinating insight into the inner workings of the early days of the oil industry---The Standard Oil Company in particular.
-
This was pretty interesting stuff. I was aware of the existence of this book and then became very curious to read it after reading Ayn Rand's
Atlas Shrugged which was a celebration of the ideal American Industrialist.
So, anyways, Ahhh, the power of a two party system (be it socialism or captialism), the parties being "those who have a lot and those who don't have as much or any". -
Still can't get a handle on John D. (getting ready to start my third book on him). Quite the paradoxical enigma. This book gets a little tedious in places. Overall, very informative and easy to read.
