Course Description

The last half of the 19th century saw the unimagined growth of industry in America. Those who participated in that growth amassed vast industrial empires and extreme wealth. Men such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and Jay Gould built fortunes while the government did little to impair their empire building. We’ll also talk about modern-day titans of industry such as Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. We’ll explore the humble beginnings of these men and their road to success.
