Answer:
Economic competition is inefficient and wasteful
Explanation:
The statement best describes an attitude shared by John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J. P. Morgan is "Economic competition is inefficient and wasteful."
This is evident in the fact that all these three aforementioned wealthy Americans were popularly known for their tendency to develop any form of monopoly in their various business industry.
