Explanation:

Baron Thief or captains of industry are pejorative terms applied to the wealthy and powerful American businessmen of the nineteenth century.

In the late 1800s, terms were typically used to refer to entrepreneurs who used what were considered exploitative practices to amass their fortune. These practices included: controlling national resources; accumulate high levels of influence in government; pay extremely low wages; crush competition by acquiring rivals with the aim of creating monopolies and eventually raising prices and creating schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors until it ends up destroying the company for which the stock was issued, impoverishment of investors.
