Advanced American Studies
Today, we reviewed some of the economic and social turmoil that resulted from the change from and agrarian society to an industrial one. The new inventions and innovations of the industrial age produced fabulous wealth for some who capitalized on this transition, and dire economic consequences for many who were at the bottom of the economic ladder.
This gap created a difference of opinion about those that benefited from this economic shift. Business titans like Andrew Carnegie were both revered (captains of industry) or hated (robber barrons). Be sure to understand both who some of these business titans were, how they developed such great wealth, and the differences of opinions regarding their actions.
