History Of The Great American Fortunes V2 is a book written by Gustavus Myers that explores the history of wealth accumulation in America. The book is the second volume in a series and covers the period from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. Myers delves into the lives of some of America's wealthiest families, including the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Carnegies, and examines how they amassed their fortunes through various means such as monopolies, trusts, and exploitation of labor. He also discusses the political and social influence these families wielded during their time and the impact they had on American society. Through extensive research and analysis, Myers provides a critical and thought-provoking perspective on the history of American capitalism and its impact on the country's development.In Three Volumes.
