1) Look at the student’s work.
Standard Oil and John D.
Rockefeller |
During brief prosperity after
the recession from 1879 John D. Rockefeller became a leader in big buisness with Standard Oil. He wished to dominate the oil
industry and he achevied horizontal integration in
1870. By law Standard Oil could not legally own stock in other oil companies,
so the stockholders created a board of 9 trustees. Henry Demarest Lloyd
published a book about Standard Oil in 1894. It was called Wealth Against
Commonwealth. He wished for public ownership of manufacturing firms and
criticized that the monopoly of Standard Oil corrupted the nation. |
