This week, The Founders Podcast examined four titans of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gould, and Morgan—exploring how their vastly different approaches to business and wealth shaped American capitalism. The episode highlights the tension between ruthless accumulation and strategic philanthropy, revealing how each man's legacy was defined less by what he built than by what he chose to do with his fortune.
