Answer 1

Answer: The leaders of this 19th century industry are obviously "Robber Barons." In this industry, robbing people is the only way to ensure your own victory. For example, as an author I will be cut short of my deserved profits by the industry middle man. However, the idea of being a captain of industry seems to be a title with little meaning. A captain of industry is a captain of deception and robbery. I see no different in these denominations Until the day a man of industry can fairly rise to his position, titles will be created to commemorate their deceptive accomplishments. However, I do believe it is possible to accomplish this. There must be, in some way, a solution in which a man can honestly climb the proverbial ladder of industry. Each rung of this ladder can be represented as a step toward a Captain of Industry, or a Robber Baron. The day that this occurs, the American industry will become an honest an reliable system.
