The modern American economy was the creation of four men: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan. They were the giants of the Gilded Age, a moment of riotous growth that established America as the richest, most inventive, and most productive country on the planet.

Acclaimed author Charles R. Morris vividly brings these men and their times to life. The ruthlessly competitive Carnegie, the imperial Rockefeller, and the provocateur Gould were obsessed with progress, experiment, and speed. They were balanced by Morgan, the gentleman businessman, who fought, instead, for a global trust in American business. Through their antagonism and verve, they built an industrial behemoth—and a country of middle-class consumers. The Tycoons tells the incredible story of how these four determined men wrenched the economy into the modern age, inventing a nation of full economic participation that could not have been imagined only a few decades earlier.

The Tycoons is a well-researched report of post-civil-war America and its road towards becoming an industrial superpower. I myself, at least, expected a more biographic piece of the four tycoons mentioned in the description, but that was only about 30-40% of the content. There was a strong emphasis on details of business transactions which felt too lengthy for me. The book can be interesting to those strongly interested in the era and who have the patience to pay attention to long segments about hostile business takeovers, but it wasn't always my cup of tea. William Hughes as a speaker was enjoyable and put as much life into the text as could be expected. Not the best audiobook I listened to, but not the worst either.

Not what I expected... Requires patience!
