Familiar with the Robber Barons?
(Google) AI Overview
"Robber barons" is a term used to describe wealthy and powerful 19th-century American industrialists and financiers who amassed huge fortunes, often through unethical and monopolistic practices. They dominated industries like railroads, steel, and oil, and their methods often involved exploiting workers, disregarding competition, and forming trusts to control markets. While they contributed to the rapid industrialization of the nation, their actions were widely criticized for being ruthless and unfair.
Okay, but you've misrepresented the O/P's argument which is a smelly pile of overgeneralizations.
