IDA MINERVA TARBELL (1857-1944) is remembered today as a muckraking
journalist, thanks to this 1904 blockbuster expos. Originally
published as a series of articles in McClure's magazine, this
groundbreaking work highlighted the dangers of business monopolies
and contributed to the eventual breakup of Standard Oil. As
modern-day muckraker Danny Schechter writes in his new
introduction, exclusive to this Cosimo Classics edition: "In this
era of financial crisis compounded, and even perhaps enabled, by a
dearth of investigative reporting, it is valuable to go back in
time to learn from the work of great journalists with the courage
to have taken on avaricious corporations and irresponsible business
practices. "Perhaps no book demands our attention and respect as
much as the one now in your hands. The unabridged edition, long out
of print, of Ida Tarbell's study/expose of the history of the
Standard Oil Company is an American classic, a model of careful
research, detailed analysis, clear expository writing, and social
mission. It has been hailed as one of the top ten of journalism's
greatest hits." In Volume II, Tarbell explores: [ battles over oil
pipelines [ the marketing of oil [ the political response to
Standard's domination [ breaking up the oil trust [ competition in
the oil industry [ and more.
