Though a century has passed since the heyday of the great industrialists and financiers, debate continues:  were these men captains of industry, without whom this country could not have taken its place as a great industrial power,  were they robber barons, limiting healthy competition and robbing from the poor to benefit the rich?  Where do we draw the line between unfair business practices and competition that leads to innovation, investment, and improvement in the standard of living for everyone?  Would the industrial economy have succeeded without entrepreneurs willing to take competition to its extremes?
