Corruption Jay Gould- “stock watering” Would inflate railroad prices and sell stocks and bonds in excess of the railroads actual value (based on $$ for cattle) Railroad managers were then forced to charge high rates Railroads bribed judges and legislature

“Law! What do I care about the law” Railroad “kings” formed monopolies “pool” an agreement to divide the business of a given area and share profits
