Should industrialists like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller be viewed as "robber barons" or "captains of industry"?

Thanks you so much for your help! I really appreciate any ideas you have.
 
In short: both.

They spurred on American innovation and industrialization, but at the same time ran huge monopolies in their respective fields.
 
if youre a liberal than you would view them as robbers because they want the government limiting them, but if your conservative you would say that theyre captains because they are the best and thats why they have success
