If I recall correctly, John D., Sr. in his early days had the oil wells of competitors in Ohio dynamited. Is that correct, and are any details on it in Josephson's book?
Don't recall reading that but I'm only about halfway through. If I come across it I'll let you know. Those Robber Baron guys were extraordinarily ruthless, violent, and devious. We ye olde Eurocapitalists like that too, or is this an example of American exceptionalism? I also just got a book called Dynamite: The Story of Class Violence in America, by Louis Adamic, which Adolph Reed speaks highly of. Not sure if it covers intra-class violence though. Doug
