So far I'm confused by the "robber baron" label applied to Rockefeller. So people who call him that would have preferred the oil business be shared by... other rich businessmen? I doubt it. In other words those who hated Rockefeller most are accusing him of a crime with no victim. Unless they considered other rich businessmen as victims, which I sincerely doubt.

Ron Chernow is... utterly conventional. How did the legal theory of antitrust regulation come about? Well, by following Rockefeller around and making everything he did illegal! See page 297. How shallow. But Mr. Chernow just accepts this without question. Alternate hypothesis: antitrust regulation was just a way for politicians to make a name for themselves, and for Rockefeller's enemies to get back at him.
