About this ebook
In "The Rising of the Tide," Ida M. Tarbell explores the tumultuous currents of social and economic change during the Progressive Era. Combining her journalism expertise with evocative prose, Tarbell delves into the intricacies of American industry and its impact on society, particularly focusing on the oil industry'Äôs rise and its implications for ordinary citizens. The book is marked by a keen sense of historical context, reflecting Tarbell's own experiences as she navigates the intersection of capitalism and morality, making a compelling argument for social reform and accountability. Ida M. Tarbell, a pioneering investigative journalist and a key figure in the women's suffrage movement, brought a unique perspective to her writing. Her deep-seated commitment to uncovering corruption and her firsthand knowledge of the oil industry's practices stemmed from her upbringing in a family affected by the monopolistic practices of Standard Oil. Tarbell's journalistic integrity, combined with her passionate advocacy for social justice, serves as the backbone of this compelling work. "The Rising of the Tide" is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the roots of modern American capitalism and the everlasting relevance of ethics in business. Tarbell's insightful analysis and stirring narrative style provide readers with both a historical account and a moral compass, making this text invaluable for scholars, historians, and modern-day activists alike.
