Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie brought about cheap and efficient mass production of steel. He controlled the first corporation that made over a billion dollars. Andrew Carnegie was a philanthropist and he donated money to many charities. He is known for his strong contribution to society and today he is remembered through the Carnegie Mellon Center.

J.P Morgan

J. P Morgan was an American financier, banker, and art collector. He financed the creation of the American Steel Company and he is credited with having saved or rescued the US national economy and the federal government with his efforts. A person like J.P Morgan would be useful today because our economy is in desperate need of help.

John D. Rockefeller

Rockefeller controlled a vast horizontal integration in oil and he also controlled the oil market. He made his money by being a stout businessman and that made him one of the largest oil producers in the world. He helped the industrial revolution by making oil cheap and easy to get a hold of. Again, today John D. Rockefeller could be useful because of our high oil prices.

These businessmen revolutionized the American way of life forever. Now more than ever there were people living in big cities and working in factories. They were producing cheap materials with good quality. This type of business paved the foundation for today’s business.
