"Robber Barons"-discussion in history class

I don’t want to be “that guy”,

Yeah I recently commented on this myself here. But I figure in high school it can’t affect you too much, and the psychic rewards I would get seem just too tempting.

I assume it’s something like “Were Rockefeller/Carnegie/Vanderbilt captains of industry or robber barons?” or “What was life like for workers?” or “Discuss the importance of labor unions.”

For some quick reference, be sure to check the above linked Applying Economics to American History | Thomas E. Woods , Jr.

Also How Capitalism Saved America is quite appropriate. Be sure to check the links there.

This is slightly off topic but I figure I may as well ask it here:Has anyone read Fulsom’s book about FDR, I think it’s called New Deal or Raw Deal, and if so,do you recommend it?

I haven’t read it yet but I recall Tom Woods hosting the Peter Schiff Show or in lecture, and speaking pretty highly of it, as well as Folsom in general. See other titles here (including another on FDR)
