You folks might enjoy Holbrook's The Age of the Moguls.

He's got good sections on all the American railroad guys.

I personally believe that anything that was good in big business in America probably died about the time Carnegie sold his steel company(a partnership) to Morgan at the turn of the 20th c and Morgan spun US Steel.

Professional management and absentee ownership have been very toxic for America, IMO.

All in favor of smart governmental technocrats riding herd on the dinos, however.

Doubt that I will ever see it happen.
