They are called “industrial statesmen” for the great economic power they helped America become. At the same time, they are regarded as “robber barons” because they built their great wealth by abusing the system, abusing employees, and destroying their competitors to satisfy their own needs.

Some of the strong, successful businessmen from the late 19th century to the 20th century came to dominate their industry by cruel, unethical ways while others came to power by persistence and determination. Early America was full of opportunity and chance for young entrepreneurs who were willing to take risks and work hard to climb to the top of the business ladder. Train tracks, oil, mining, steel, and other job categories were the main industries in which people found their success. One of the most well-known and prosperous businessmen in that time period was Milton Hershey, whose industry was candy. He is not a baron robber, someone who gained great fortune by ruthless means, but instead a pioneer of his industry.
The reform of finance and administration was the most important factor for Pitt’s domination of politics 1783-93 how far do you agree? On one had there is a strong suggestion that Pitts earlier political domination was made entirely by his skill as an administrator and financing his government. But the political situation at the time meant that there were many disadvantages facing him from very early on, hence the nickname the “mince pie” administration. There were many ways in which Pitt conquered over such problems like the Whigs and support within the Commons and the way he improved it, but what is the most important factor in his domination.

One reason that Madoff was so successful was that he was a highly respected, well-established and esteemed financial expert. His reputation was strengthened by the fact that he helped found the NASDAQ stock exchange and served a term as its chair. What's more, at the same time he was running his scheme, he was also running a legitimate business, which didn’t occur overnight. This was a scary thing to imagine and he had many bamboozled. You would think that over duration of time such as this, one would pick up with Bernie Madoff.
A lot of times, this leads to a lot of corruption within the U.S. Such as the case of Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. Both were very smart and clever business men, but to obtain this wealth, each man committed corrupt actions. Both men turned their businesses into monopolies. A monopoly is when one company makes a good, product, service, etc.
Eventually Gatsby meets Dan Cody, the man who ultimately inspires him to pursue his dream of winning Daisy back. Gatsby is influenced by Dan’s criminal activity, as it is what led to his wealth. This is seen when a young Gatsby looks up at Dan’s yacht that “represented all the beauty and glamour in the world” (100). Gatsby thought that by becoming rich, he would win Daisy back. He was wrong.
With many years of record profits and multimillions in annual sales, the D.L. Rogers model is tempting to reproduce. However, Hartnett’s management style is very unorthodox.

Known for his enthusiasm towards American politics, his Spanish War hero persona, and a dedicated reform driven governor, Roosevelt found himself taking office as vice-president of the United States on March 4, 1901 and following McKinley’s assassination President on September 14, 1901. Shortly after returning to politics, opportunity had presented itself to further satisfy America’s need for manifest destiny. The French had embarked on the idea of creating a canal that would connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, creating a water way to better improve transportation and drastically cut down cost. This enormous engineering feat had not only claimed countless French lives, but had proved to be too expensive to continue. Roosevelt had realized this great potential and purchased the equipment and rights from the French to pursue this project.
And this is my strong issue: future leader has to develop familiarity with financial management principles, which are at the core of any successful business. And it’s really hard for me, but I think it’s more an excuse for my lazy brains, than a real fear factor. We can do everything, even impossible, if we have enough obstinacy.
