Not sure if this has been discussed but, "The Men Who Built America" was fantastic. 4 part series and the last epi was last night. Follows 4 dudes through history Vanderbilt (railroads), Carnagie (steel), JP Morgan (general badass and banker), Rockafeller (total badass and oil), and Ford (not as big of badass as the other guys but pretty important dude in history)
Those guys were so boss. JD Rockafeller was a bazillionaire, got his company torn apart and into 30 something other companies by the stupid government, so he just invested in all of those new companies and made even more money than before. Take that stupid government.
Highly recommend all 4. JP Morgan on is probably the best.
