I am big fan of the old generation of Industrymagnat. I dont know they just have something that is special about them.

Some other people here on /lit/ that like or hate them ?
Maybe you could write your opinion and we can have a civil discussion about them.

At least their brand of capitalism produced useful goods, instead of frivolous trinkets, do-dads, and consumerist oriented nonsense.

Rockefeller was a dick
Totally waged price wars on small businesses in competition with him.
Would sell at a loss just to drive the little guy under than raise prices when the little guys business was dead

I don't know. I think it's really easy to shit on them, but I think these were people who took advantages of the loopholes of the times.

I think it's extremely weird that some people go around the internet and post reaction pictures to shit they don't like. Like what's the deal? The OP is right too, except for the free energy devices but it's more a case of being a loony rather than a brainlet.

JP Morgan was a character in Ragtime.
Mostly portrayed him as terrified of his own mortality.
