Description
Journalist Ida Tarbell wrote serialized stories from 1902 to 1904 exposing the Standard Oil Company monopoly and the role of owner John D. Rockefeller in creating commercialized American ideals and materialistic values. Tarbell describes Rockefeller's business practices, personal characteristics, and physical appearance. This "muckraking" form of journalism led to regulation of Standard Oil.
