Teddy Roosevelt the Trustbuster - Big Oil - US History - Part 1 - Extra History

Theodore Roosevelt is famous for many things, but we tend to focus more on his foreign policy and his establishment of the natural parks. Not this series. We're going to take a look at how Teddy smashed up one of the biggest trusts America had ever seen: Standard Oil. But first, we have to lay out the groundwork. Who was John D Rockerfeller? What did Standard Oil do exactly that was so bad? And how did Ida Tarbell crack the story of a century?

It’s interesting that while Extra Credits does a lot of stand alone videos and short series (like Cuban Missile Crisis) about US history, this is only the second full Patreon voted series after Articles of Confederation about US history. I think Teddy is pretty fitting for a US series. But I hope we get a Civil War and War of 1812 series one day. And something about Native Americans like Trail of Tears.

Ngl, Teddy Roosevelt is probably my favorite president Between Trust-busting, the FDA, the National Parks, and more, he did a lot of good things for the country

for anyone confused, a trust is essentially is when a parent company(standard oil in this case) grants or entrusts something to another person or company. In the case of standard oil, this would mean entrusting certain parts of production to other companies like the standard of Ohio this video mentioned

Probably shoulda named this episode after the person it was talking about, Ida Tarbell. Rooesevelt doesn't even matter in the story yet, and given that I had never even HEARD of Ida, I'd say she's long overdue for some real recognition.

I hate how some libertarians straight up deny this kind of stuff being possible. Some people really think that monopolies didn't exist or at the very least think they could never afford to undercut and buy up businesses. Their main argument is that everyone would try to start a business to get bought out, but the problem is it costs money to start a business. If you got into it just to get bought out, more likely you would just be left to bankrupt because you didn't actually have a real business plan, plus noone is going to invest in you to help you get started which means you have a greater chance of failing before you could reach a point where a monopoly would want to buy you out.
@samuellancaster6487 3 роки тому
An interesting phenomenon in Economics is when a monopoly over reaches with regard to prices, it can undercut their profits almost as much as if they did have competitors in their market. This is because if the costs become to high, people will either a) simply not buy or b) seek alternative goods/services from another market entirely.
@StumpyDaPaladin 3 роки тому
@@samuellancaster6487 Funny thing that. Amazon, Walmart, and in a similar degree but in a different direction Facebook; have all been allowed to continue existing for the decades that they have due entirely to the fact that they DONT raise prices beyond what 'seems' reasonable. Bear in mind these companies control All the data so they know exactly what that majical number is. down to the penny. and can have computers adjust things accordingly in seconds. and do it all in realtime. Although at this point there IS NO OTHER market to use as an alternative. And you have to buy at SOME point. They can afford to wait.
