Résumé

**In 1865, America made things by hand in small workshops.** By 1920, it was producing more steel than the rest of the world combined, lighting cities with oil, and binding a continent with iron rails. In just fifty-five years, a nation of farmers became the most powerful industrial economy on earth — and it tore itself nearly in half in the process.You know the names: Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan. You sense their decisions still shape the corporations you work for, the antitrust laws on the news, the inequality you can't ignore. But the textbook version reduces the most important economic revolution in modern history to a few faces in top hats. You're left without the real story — how the steel mills, the oil refineries, the factory floors, and the bloody strikes built the America you actually live in.This book gives it to you.**THE AGE OF IRON: America's Industrial Revolution, the Robber Barons, and the Making of Modern America, 1865–1920** puts you on the factory floor, in the boardroom, and at the breaker, where the modern economy was forged.**Inside, you will discover:**- **HOW** Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan engineered the corporations that still rule the economy- **WHY** the Robber Barons earned the name — and what they genuinely built- **THE BRUTAL TRUTH** about child labor, immigrant exploitation, and the workplace disasters of the Industrial Revolution- **HOW** farmers, Progressives, and trust-busters fought back — from the Sherman Act to the Federal Reserve- **WHY** the Making of Modern America still defines your paycheck, your politics, and your countryThis isn't a parade of statues.
