The Age of Big Business A CHRONICLE OF THE CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY

By Burton J. Hendrick

Book Overview

"The Age of Big Business," by Burton Jesse Hendricks, is an in-depth examination of the United States' revolutionary epoch of industrial expansion. Some stories are violent and strange, while others creep up on you and slowly suck you in. Readers are compelled to keep reading because the title character is so self-indulgent. The literary work dives into the genesis of corporate behemoths, the development of industries, and the tremendous societal changes caused by the growth of big business. Burton Jesse Hendrick, a trained historian and biographer, meticulously follows the paths of significant individuals and institutions who shaped this age. Through entertaining anecdotes, he demonstrates the entrepreneurial spirit that drove titans like John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan to alter industries and accumulate vast fortunes.
