John D. Rockefeller - The Original Titan - (Business Biographies and Memoirs - Titans of Indus) by J R MacGregor (Paperback)

About the Book

We live in a world today that is based on the actions of John D. Rockefeller. Everything we do and how we live are the result of oil and its power.

Book Synopsis

Rockefeller was the quintessential industrialist. He created an industry out of nascent oil and gas start-ups during a time when none existed. His strategies and tactics may not have been approved by all, but he was certain he was doing God's work.

We live in a world today that is based on the actions of John D. Rockefeller. Everything we do and how we live are the result of oil and its power. This inherent structure is based on what one man did when the oil industry was just starting off.
He was strategic in his thinking, choosing to enter the refining side of the oil industry instead of the exploring and drilling aspect of it. He started with one refinery and then quickly bought up more than 90 percent of his competitors in the state within a few short years.

The story of Rockefeller as told in this book provides a deep view of the oil industry and is told from a very human and real perspective. It looks at the events that shaped his life, from the shenanigans of his crooked father to the pleasant and philanthropic old man that he became. It is a story that is both instructive and interesting. It is a story of America itself told from the perspective of one of the world's most successful men who rose from nothing and set the world on its path--a path that we still traverse today almost a century after his passing.

Review Quotes

"...I have always been curious about the term "Rockefeller" when others use it as a pun. This book was quite interesting. It included tidbits probably that may not be included in other books such as his temperament and how he got along with his peers and family." - Jaye

"Excellent bio on this misunderstood man. Not nearly the villain the left makes him to be. He seemed cold and ruthless at times but was really just business orinated all the time. He couldn't control the enormous wealth he made. It just came with his work ethic." - Suave
