John D. Rockefeller: Historians continue to debate the legacy of business tycoons in the late 1800s, such as John D. Rockefeller. Consider these two points of view: “When Rockefeller founded Standard Oil, kerosene was 30 cents a gallon. Twenty years later, Rockefeller had almost a 90 percent market share and kerosene was only eight cents a gallon. Customers were the real winners here, because Rockefeller’s size allowed him to cut costs. . . .” — Historian Burton W. Folsom, Jr. “To organize and exploit the resources of a nation upon a giant scale . . . and to do this only in the name of an uncontrolled appetite for private profit—here surely is . . . whence so much disaster, outrage, and misery has flowed.” — Historian Matthew Josephson Add to Notes: Starting on page 323
John D. Rockefeller was a major oil tycoon. He was one of the first businessmen to utilize Horizontal Integration. Andrew Carnegie was a major steel and manufacturer. He was one of the first businessmen to utilize Vertical Integration. Summarize how these two tycoons utilized each form of integration. |
