Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

A pesar de su apariencia de verdad objetiva, científica e indiscutible, la economía está plagada de falsedades. Sus medias verdades o patentes mentiras, sin embargo, no se dicen por error ni por gusto, sino para causar un determinado efecto en quien las escucha. En nuestro tiempo, ese efecto es evidente: justificar y propiciar la mayor concentración de ingresos y riqueza en unas pocas manos y hacer que la gente se resigne al silencio mientras se restringen sus derechos y se le impone un modelo económico, además de injusto, ineficiente.

Las consecuencias económicas de la paz es un análisis profético sobre las repercusiones económicas de la Primera Guerra Mundial y los errores cometidos en la Conferencia de Paz de París en 1919.

Su obra desafía las políticas económicas predominantes de la época y advierte sobre las devastadoras consecuencias de imponer reparaciones excesivas a los países derrotados.
