It's time. We dive into the *original* American capitalist mega
winner, Standard Oil, and its legendary founder John D.
Rockefeller. This company and man almost defy characterization --
Elon, Bezos, Gates, Buffett... they've got nothing on old John D.
Not only was Rockefeller the wealthiest person in modern human
history, his company wrote the blueprint for today's corporations
and everything we now know about business and capitalism. Pull up
a chair and get ready to hear how this hillbilly, nobody kid from
the sticks grew up to became the richest person in the world,
creating a legend along the way that would become the American
Dream...
