Question
This person held a namesake series of illegal price-fixing “dinners” in New York. Stalin’s plan to “catch and overtake” a place named for this American is documented in a Stephen Kotkin book. This man ineffectively tried to end convict leasing in the Alabama mines he acquired as chairman of a company that merged with TCI to stave off the Panic of 1907. This man names a platoon-based “plan” for “work-study-play” education created by John Dewey’s disciple William Wirt. This former (*) judge’s “federal” company became part of a firm helmed by Charles Schwab after a 1901 merger planned by J. P. Morgan. The Jackson 5’s first record label was based in a “city of the century” named for this man, which inspired the Soviet city of Magnitogorsk before becoming a classic example of urban decay in the Rust Belt. For 10 points, what co-founder of U.S. Steel names a city in northwest Indiana? ■END■
