Description of The Robber Barons |
Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Harriman, Gould, Frick...this is the remarable story of the giant American capitalists who boldly seized economic power after the Civil War and altered the shape of American life forever.

Reviews'It is the best, the livliest and the most illuminating of the works on this subject...the material it contains, while not new, has never been so skillfully coordinated before, nor assembled to throw light on such important process.'
Robert Cantwell, New Republic
'Mr. Josephson has told his story...with great verve and a fine sense of it's dramatic values...not a mere series of biographies but a genuine history...he is particularly to be congratulated upon the lucidity with which he sets forth the complex financial transactions by which most of the barrons built up their fortunes.'
Henry Hazlitt New York Times
'Josephson has written an adroit and thrilling account of the men who with such savage selfishness,controlled our financial destinies during the last half of the nineteenth century.'
A.B.Miller
