The Men Who Owned the World | Titans of Industry, Then and Now

The Men Who Owned the World | Titans of Industry, Then and Now

Every era has its titans. Men who look at the rules of commerce, find the gaps, and build empires inside them, until society catches up and writes new rules to contain what they created.

In this episode, we trace the Gilded Age from Carnegie's steel mills and Rockefeller's stranglehold on oil to the garages and server farms of Amazon, Google, and Apple. The methods changed. The underlying logic did not.
