Standard Oil Part II
We bring the epic saga of Standard Oil and John D. Rockefeller to a close (for now) with two of history’s greatest second acts: Rockefeller’s pioneering of modern philanthropy (and really modern life itself), and perhaps the single greatest shareholder value “unlock” of all-time in the breakup of Standard Oil. And like any great American saga, of course the good guys win in the end. The only question is… just who were the good guys??

We sit down with the one & only Michael Mauboussin to dive deep into his incredible body of work: untangling skill and luck, measuring moats, persistence of returns in venture capital, decision making and — particularly timely — expectations investing and how to think about valuations in the current 2021 market environment. (!!) Michael’s work is maybe our most frequent carve out on Acquired, so we’re pumped to finally have a chance to interview the man himself.
