Industrial tycoons like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller amassed great wealth and power, often at the expense of their workers. They implemented practices that maximized efficiency and profits, such as vertical and horizontal integration, but these often led to poor working conditions, low wages, and long hours for employees. Their dominance in industries also made it difficult for labor unions to gain traction and improve conditions for workers.
