Therefore, an analysis is scoped on two major figures; namely, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, both of whom controversial views were held against, and shall be seen as Captains of Industry as revealed throughout the study. This is achieved via analyzing major standpoints: Social Darwinism, Individualism and Laissez-Faire. Accordingly, the study proves the claim already stated. This issue is particularly notable in addressing the application of the three main doctrines during The Gilded Age, and the transformation of the U.S. Thus, the status of nowadays America is economically tuned to serve the whole, as the individual celebrates criterions that serve them, and all such matter is meeting success of exemplification once Rockefeller and Carnegie are brought into the scene.enGilded ageCaptains of industrySocial darwinismIndividualismOther
