People such as Andrew Carnegie, who was very successful in the steel industry and John Rockefeller who came up with the Standard Oil Company are just a few examples. Andrew Carnegie wrote the “Gospel of Wealth” which justified the methods of their management. Although some of their methods were questionable, “Robber Baron” is not an appropriate label for the industrialists who dominated American industrial development from 1877 to 1900.…

    "The Myth of The Robber Barons" by Burton W. Folsom, JR. is a very distinct story talking about the early American entrepreneurs. This story is a good illustration of big businessmen as being beyond America's significance. At the beginning of the story, Folsom portrays two significant types of entrepreneurs; market entrepreneurs and political entrepreneurs. He then begins to mention that "no entrepreneur fits perfectly into one category or the other, but most fall generally into one category" (pg. 1). Thereby, according to Folsom, “Political Entrepreneurs best fit into the classic robber barons mold” (pg. 1).…

    Significant controversy over the question if the big business men of the late nineteenth century were “robber barons” has been widely debated by historians. Notably, Howard Zinn (yes) and John S. Gordon (no) have documented their reasonings behind their opinions on if the big business men truly were “robber barons” or simply “captains of industry”. Most significant was Howard Zinn’s argument that they were robber barons based on how they treated workers, as well as the issues of scandals, bribery, and corruption. The workers were met with terrible conditions and treatment from the impersonal business men they worked for. Scandals, bribery, and corruption put more money into the pockets of these big business men in an unjust manner.…

    During the 20th century, many groups across the nation were facing problems with the new urban-industrial order. Progressivism was defined as a broad-based response to industrialization and its social byproducts, which were immigration, urban growth, growing corporate power, and widening class divisions. Most progressives were reformers, who strived to make the new urban-industrial order more humane instead of overturning it and believed that most social problems could be solved through study and organized effort. While the reformers reoriented American social thought, novelists and journalists reported corporate wrongdoing, municipal corruption, slum conditions, and industrial abuses. Magazines like McClure’s and Collier’s stirred reform energies with articles exposing urban political corruption and corporate wrongdoing, some magazines later appeared as books.…
