The Unwitting Sculptors Of The American Super Industrial Model - By: Kerrigan J. A. Bethel, 02 Aug 2007
They created their industrial & financial bases for a variety of reasons, the overriding being personal greed & to quench an insatiable thirst for personal power. 'For the good of humanity' whilst never a deliberate intention was, nevertheless, an accidental by-product of The Tycoons nefarious wheeling & dealing in pursuit of wealth & dominance.

Charles Morris tells the comprehensive but not unnecesarily over-detailed account of The Tycoons sometimes individual & sometimes overlapping commercial machinations. The result is a highly readable & interesting account of a pivotal period in the evolution of The American Supereconomy.

When their unethical practices were at last outlawed by the State, there at least remained a framework upon which, with good governance & improving management techniques, others were able to make The United States of America into the World's greatest trading nation. For that The Tycoons are owed a debt of gratitude if not affection.
