Reviews
Really liked this whole series. Everyone knows these names...JP Morgan, Ford, Carnegie etc. But I had never seen them linked or understood how one played off the other and how they intersected. Equivalent to seeing how Bill Gates, Steve Jobs etc interacted with each other. Also really interesting to see how technology has had these jumps - first from railroads, to oil, to steel, to electricity. Equivalent to Internet, to smart phone, to AI. History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.
