So, what were you seven titans of industry producing in exchange for all that lovely, lovely money? At the end of the day, what had been made that could be sold in the market? How many people went home from their jobs having earned a fair day's wage for their work, and how much of what they had done hadn't made it into the pockets of those workers? What, really, were you doing other than interposing yourselves into the stream of capital created by other people's labor, and siphoning that money into your own pockets?
