That the one about Carnegie, Rockefeller and JP Morgan?

It was shown over here a few months back. Excellent series, showing how a few men with vision and then means can shape society and history.

william vanderbilts coverage on the programme is in complete contradiction to his wiki page. i'll have to watch it again but it casts doubt on the history of the other moguls

If there's no mention of a Serbian inventor then they've missed the point of the program.
