    Funny how although Standard Oil had a monopoly, it was the most efficient and cheapest way of extracting oil, transporting it, refining it and distributing it. During this, he paid workers more than the competition and continued innovating. I believe government broke up Standard Oil before there was a legitimate reason for it.
