History of Standard Oil: Volume 2
History of Standard Oil: Volume 2 is a critical exposé written by journalist Ida M. Tarbell in 1904, detailing the practices of the Standard Oil Company under John D. Rockefeller. Originally published as a serialized work in McClure's magazine, it exemplifies muckraking journalism and significantly influenced public perception of monopolies in the early 20th century. The book is notable for its role in prompting antitrust actions that led to the breakup of Standard Oil in 1911.
