QR code
"The History of the Standard Oil Company" by Ida M. Tarbell is an exposé published in 1904. Originally serialized in McClure's magazine, this groundbreaking work of investigative journalism reveals the monopolistic practices of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil empire. Through meticulous research and interviews with industry insiders, Tarbell uncovered evidence of price-rigging and predatory business tactics. Her revelations sparked public outrage and helped accelerate the company's eventual breakup in 1911, establishing a
landmark example of muckraking journalism's power to challenge corporate abuse. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
