Charles R. Morris, The Tycoons: How Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan Invented the American Supereconomy, Blackstone Audiobooks 2014 (Audio CD) ISBN: =”1481516329”

My Review 4/5

First. This is not not a biography of the four tycoons as much as it is a trawling history from the end of the Civil War through the early 1900s.

However there are many lessons in the boom/bust cycle of frothy investing that are playing out again today with technology firms.

A great read that goes several manager structures deeper than just the figureheads and how that impacted the everyday man. Just be prepared for chapters of context that are skim-able.
