So far, I watched the story of Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie. It seems that there are four mini-series of six hours total.
At this time, the documentary is on YouTube; however, I am not sure whether all series are available.
The only conclusion I have drawn for now is that the greed and the nagging feeling of destiny in a few men have led to the economic dominance of America in the world.
It seems that greed could be a great motivational force for economic development. Of course, frequently the advancement has come at the horrific price of dwindling humanity. Just watch the accounts of the Johnstown Flood and the massive layoffs.
