About This Quiz
We've all heard the term "titan of industry" used to describe CEOs and big-business people. But have you heard of a "robber baron" used similarly?
The dictionary defines a robber baron as "a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices." The term mainly refers to the early industrialists who helped the United States grow during the 19th century. These business giants all had their own domains: as an oil baron, shipping magnate, steel tycoon, railroad pioneer and so on. We all know that economic survival translates to being "business savvy," and indeed, some business practices border on unethical decisions from time to time. So did these so-called robber barons merely do their jobs as they saw fit or did they use greed as their moral compass?Â
The answer varies greatly depending on who is asked. But it's still undeniable that these tycoons, barons, magnates and moguls helped shape the world we live in today. Thanks to their contributions, innovations and visions, they rightfully earn the title "captain of industry" for creating business foundations still going strong today.
