A Captain of Industry

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century industrial America, the narrative follows an industrialist whose story was deemed too radical for its time. Originally written around 1901-1902, it explores themes of corporate corruption and social justice, gaining relevance after the works of investigative journalists like Steffens and Tarbell shed light on these issues. This fictionalized account provides a critical perspective on the moral dilemmas faced by those in power during a transformative era in American history.
