"Morris does a capable job in this fairly brief survey of the rise of the US as an economic powerhouse, and the way that the work of four men in particular (Jay Gould, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan) played key roles in that rise. He seems to strike a good balance between the influence of these men and the sociological factors which enabled them to play their parts. The prose is accessible and the narrative pretty clear."
"While the book discusses the four men and their relationships to/with each other, it also describes the 'business history' of the era. It is an overview, perhaps a light introductory book to the 'progressive era.'"
"I read a few random chapters of this book as research for a paper on J. P. Morgan. It was interesting and later I plan to go back and read the whole thing."
