#4 In the oil industry, the control of competition was provided by a severe young man named John D. Almost everyone believed in laissez-faire, and the ideal economic order was a sort of endless game in which anyone could enter. #3 In the 18-seventies and 18-eighties, the American economic ideal was free competition. The troops were hardly back from Cuba, the air was still filled with the echoes of There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight, and Admiral George Dewey was still the nation’s adored hero. #2 The idea of outward conquest had been given a powerful impetus by the opera-bouffe victory in the Spanish War, which had bestowed upon a surprised country a group of islands across the Pacific. The frontier had now been closed for many years. But it returned to a very different country from the America of the eighties and nineties. Sample Book Insights: #1 The American economy experienced a boom beginning in 1897, which was only briefly interrupted by the outbreak of the Spanish War.
