But the picture I got from "Titan" is he really was not culpable. He had a strong moral compass & believed he was God's instrument on earth. That may be misguided but not evil. He was not even particularly egocentric as most great men are. He just did what he felt was necessary & did it extremely well. That to make money by all means is what most sucessfull capitalist do. Money was his true god & the purpose he was put on earth. That was his measure of worth in everything he did. He did however, feel guilty in his declining years & sought to give away his money. Strangely, this was harder & more of a challenge than making it. Mr. Chernow does a fine job, presenting a balanced biography. The details of Rockefeller's early years & his rise to power is what I sought & was satisfied.
