The Age of Big Business is a non-fiction book written by Burton J. Hendrick that discusses the rise of big business in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores the growth of corporations such as Standard Oil, U.S. Steel, and General Electric, as well as the men who led them, including John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Hendrick examines the impact of these companies on the American economy and society, including the rise of monopolies, the growth of cities, and the emergence of new technologies. The book also looks at the political and social reforms that were enacted in response to the power of big business, including antitrust laws and labor protections. Overall, The Age of Big Business provides a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal period in American history.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.
