Swift was a captain of industry - he didn't treat his workers very well sometimes but that was pretty much his only flaw within his capitalism. Even then, he still took the time to properly educate his workers on all of the safety measures needed when it came to processing meats. He donated over 1 mil to the University of Chicago (which equates to about $22,700,000 today). He was very innovative and helped to develop the refrigerated box car, which enabled his ability to make sales from across the country.

Was J. D. Rockerfeller a robber baron or a captain of industry?
he invetned the steel industury -- Actually he was the "main guy" in the oil industry. Carnegie was steel. I would say he is a Robber Baron because he started a monopoly and basically told other oil companies that they would either have to sign a trust (which basically allows him to take over their business and give a small dividend to the trustee) or he would run them out of business. --
