Part 6 "Owning it All"

Episode 6: Owning it All

With an investment from Morgan, the Edison Electric Company is created and begins wiring homes in New York. A rival, Nikola Tesla, soon emerges with a different technology for electric light. A battle between Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) power ensues. Morgan eventually buys out

Edison and forms General Electric which adopts AC power, setting the stage for the next several decades of electric power. Meanwhile, there is increasing unrest among American workers as the gap between the rich and the poor grows.

Key terms to define

BEDROCK, HORSEPOWER, PRIVATE SECTOR, STREAMLINE, VIABLE, VULNERABILITY, WATERSHED,

Discussion Questions

1. What is the difference between AC and DC power?

2. What do you think of Morgan’s decision to buy out Thomas Edison? Do you think this decision was fair to Edison?

3. Why was J.P. Morgan’s ability to loan funds to the federal government so important? Do you agree with one commentator that this was an “act of nationalism”?

4. What is “Morganization”? Why was this approach an important and notable feature of the American economy?
