| 520 | _a"The Age of Big Business: A Chronicle of the Captains of Industry" by Burton J. Hendrick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significant economic transformation in the United States after the Civil War, focusing on the rise of large-scale industries and the influential figures, or "captains of industry," who shaped modern capitalism. The opening of the book sets the stage for this exploration by reflecting on the state of America in 1865, immediately following the Civil War. Hendrick paints a picture of a nation that, at the time, lacked many modern conveniences and industrial structures, such as railroads and electric lighting. He discusses how the economic landscape was primarily characterized by small-scale production and competition rather than the monopolistic trusts that would come to define American industry. The narrative foregrounds the remarkable changes that occurred in the subsequent fifty years, emphasizing the vast resources available in the United States and the entrepreneurial spirit that would eventually lead to the establishment of powerful corporations like Standard Oil and U.S. Steel.
