Not this series. We're going to take a look at how Teddy smashed up one of the biggest trusts America had ever seen: Standard Oil. But first, we have to lay out the groundwork. Who was John D Rockerfeller? What did Standard Oil do exactly that was so bad?

I'm guessing you guys are going to speak softly for this series while carrying a big stick?

As Marina Moraes pointed out in the comments, you forgot to replace the outro music's name. The description currently says "♪ Outro music: 'Battuta's Voyage' by Tiffany Roman."

I wonder where the connection between sects of Christianity and efficiency came from. I've seen interviews with John C. Bogle where he makes references to "Quaker efficiency". I appreciate the detail! Most people just stop at "anti-competitive" tactics and don't elaborate. I've never heard anyone talk about corporate espionage.

So that's why it's called "anti-trust." I learned something today. Thanks EC!

If a belief influences history, it’s innovative. Great thinkers are and always will be “strange”.

I knew I recognized the name Tarbell. Thanks for letting us know what motivated the birth of investigative journalism.
