Standard Oil or the People: The End of Corporate Control in America exposes how one company shaped the economy, politics, and daily life in early 20th-century America.

This edition lays out the rise of Standard Oil, the wealth it generated, and the broad reach of its influence across railroads, gas utilities, banks, and other industries. It also discusses public concerns about monopoly, calls for reform, and the idea of redistributing private wealth to protect the nation’s future.

Structured around historical findings and bold claims, the book traces who benefited from Standard Oil and how those profits touched ordinary people. It blends documentary detail with a call for accountability, offering a clear look at the era’s economic debates and the push for greater government oversight.

How Rockefeller’s fortune grew and how it funded a wide network of companies
The reach of Standard Oil into railroads, gas, banking, and other industries
Arguments about the social impact of large monopolies and proposed remedies

Ideal for readers interested in American business history, economic reform, and how big wealth shaped public life.
