In a continuation of our discussion of the social philosophy of businessmen during the late 1800's, we will conclude class with a viewing of the documentary Ten Days that Changed America:  The Homestead Strike.

Class today was devoted to the concept of industrialists as either "Captains of Industry" or "Robber Barrons".  Be sure to know what made people like Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, Richard Sears, Montgomery Ward, JP Morgan, etc. famous and the varying perspectives on these industrial leaders.
