Description - The Age Of Big Business by Burton J Hendrick
The Age of Big Business is a book written by Burton J. Hendrick that provides an in-depth analysis of the rise of big business in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores the major industries that emerged during this period, such as railroads, oil, steel, and finance, and the key figures who shaped them, including John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan.Hendrick examines the economic, political, and social factors that contributed to the growth of big business, including the expansion of the American frontier, the development of new technologies, and the rise of a capitalist culture. He also explores the impact of big business on American society, including the growth of urbanization, the emergence of a new middle class, and the rise of labor unions.The Age of Big Business is a well-researched and engaging book that provides a comprehensive overview of a pivotal period in American history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of American business, economics, and society.When Cornelius Vanderbilt died in 1877, America's first great industrial combination had become an established fact. In that year the Standard Oil Company of Ohio controlled at least ninety per cent of the business of refining and marketing petroleum. A new portent had appeared in our economic life, a phenomenon that was destined to affect not only the social and business existence of the every-day American but even his political and legal institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
