The last half of the 19th century saw the unimagined growth of industry in America. Those that participated in that growth amassed vast industrial empires and an untelling amount of wealth. Men such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, and Jay Gould built vast fortunes, while the government did little to impair their empire-building. We’ll also talk about modern-day titans of industry such as Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk. We’ll explore the humble beginnings of these men and their road to success.
